Quality Assurance

The primary responsibility of the medical physicist is to ensure the safety of patient treatments and the proper functioning of all medical devices, including CT scanners, radiotherapy equipment, and computer systems.

Regular measurements and checks are conducted on a daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis to maintain optimal treatment safety.

Every treatment adheres to a stringent quality assurance protocol to uphold the highest standards of care and precision.

Dosimetry

Additionally, the medical physicist collaborates closely with the doctor to determine the optimal treatment parameters, including the number, shape, orientation, and energy of the irradiation beams. This ensures precise delivery of the appropriate dose to the tumor while safeguarding surrounding healthy tissue.

Radiation protection

The medical physicist plays a pivotal role in ensuring radiation protection for both patients and the healthcare team. This involves the implementation and diligent monitoring of radiation protection protocols and guidelines.
