Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provides high-resolution time-series data reflecting real-world glucose dynamics. However, most existing CGM analytics emphasize absolute glucose values, numerical thresholds, or food-centric i...

One-dimensional (1D) water tanks are widely used in clinical practice due to their efficiency and reduced setup complexity; however, measurement accuracy can be influenced by operational parameters selected during data acquisitio...

To reflect on a meaningful early experience of research, learning, and professional growth within a radiation oncology department under the mentorship of a medical physicist

Open-ended survey responses are extremely valuable since participants voluntarily share insights that they feel are necessary to express. The purpose of this study is to accurately reflect members’ perception of the AAPM climate,...

This study aims to assess the role of immobilization device design and material quality in improving radiotherapy precision for patients of all ages and treatment intents—from pediatric to adult cases and from curative to palliat...

To develop a global database of medical physics initiatives in support of a sustainable and equitable collaborative ecosystem that minimizes resource duplication and inefficiencies across stakeholders.

Only 16% of therapeutic radiation incidents reported nationally to RO-ILS meet “excellent” RO-HAC narrative standards, limiting system learning. Capturing essential context is difficult for time-constrained clinicians, and critic...

Regulatory inspections for multi-site radiation oncology programs are traditionally resource-intensive, requiring approximately 1.0 hour/linac of on-site review. This study quantifies the impact of a centralized, cloud-based gove...

Understanding of medical physics is essential for safe and effective radiation oncology practice. This study evaluates current instructional practices for physics education in radiation oncology physician residency programs follo...

Education is a core professional responsibility for medical physicists, yet most receive limited formal training in pedagogy or instructional design. Recognizing this gap, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM)...

Persistent difficulty in recruiting therapeutic medical physicists, particularly outside large metropolitan and/or academic centers, suggests a geographic mismatch between training locations and workforce demand. While residency...

Although radiographic exposures are individually low dose, in 2016 there were 275 million in the U.S.; the broad population makes consistent dose and image quality important. A large institution faces significant challenges to ac...

To characterize patient‑specific quality assurance (PSQA) measurement frequency patterns across Canadian radiotherapy centers and to identify factors associated with reduced PSQA measurement frequency for routine VMAT and SBRT de...
