Physics Department / Chief Physicist – John Keane

Radiation Oncology is a technology-based specialty, and the members of our Physics department are responsible for both maintaining the integrity and precision of these technologies, as well as aiding the physicians in the planning for each and every patient’s radiation plan. The Physics team is led by Board Certified Medical Physicists and includes Junior Physicists and Medical Dosimetrists, who use sophisticated computers to create three dimensional models of each patient’s anatomy in order to plan exactly how the radiation will be targeted to the areas at risk, while staying away from the healthy neighboring tissues.

Medical Dosimetrist

The Medical Dosimetrist is a member of the radiation oncology team who has the expertise necessary to generate radiation dose distributions and dose calculations in collaboration with the Radiation Oncologist and Medical Physicist. Designing a patient’s treatment plan requires a delicate balance between delivering the physician’s prescribed dose while considering dose-limiting organs. The Medical Dosimetrist is cognizant of procedures commonly used in brachytherapy and has the ability to execute planning for intracavitary and interstitial dose delivery. Knowledge would also include the overall characteristics and clinical relevance of radiation treatment machines and equipment. The Medical Dosimetrist is a significant part of a team, which contributes toward cancer survivorship on a daily basis.
