Radiation therapy is an essential component of cancer care and is used in the treatment of roughly half of all cancer patients. To ensure that these treatments are both safe and effective, it’s critical that the linear accelerators, or linacs, that deliver the radiation are as reliable, efficient and accurate as possible.
The US-based medical physics consultancy One Physics aims to help hospitals and cancer centres meet these goals by bringing together a team of highly-trained expert medical physicists to provide a wide range of radiotherapy and diagnostic imaging physics services.
This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features James Giltz, director of commissioning services at One Physics. In a wide-ranging conversation with Physics World’s Tami Freeman, Giltz explains how the company provides comprehensive medical-physics support for radiotherapy – from planning new centres through to ongoing clinical operations.
