Radiation: Applications

The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

Area of Science:

Medical Physics
Radiation Oncology
Medical Education

Background:

Online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) is revolutionizing radiation oncology.
Existing medical physics training programs often lack comprehensive ART education.
There is a significant need for specialized training in advanced adaptive technologies.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce the structure, framework, and implementation model of the Medical Physics Adaptive Radiotherapy (MPART) Fellowship.
To address the educational gap in online ART for medical physicists.
To provide a replicable model for institutions developing ART training programs.

Main Methods:

Established a two-year, immersive fellowship program with platform-specific training (CBCT, MR, PET-guided radiotherapy).
Incorporated modular clinical rotations, hands-on training, research projects, and competency-based evaluation.
Recruited fellows from diverse institutions, emphasizing practical application and research.

Main Results:

Successfully recruited two fellows into the MPART program since 2024, indicating high demand.
Fellows actively engage in adaptive workflows, aiming for near-attending level competency by year two.
Fellows lead research projects, contributing to national and international presentations and publications.

Conclusions:

The MPART Fellowship effectively addresses the need for specialized ART training for medical physicists.
The program equips physicists with essential competencies for implementing and leading ART.
This fellowship offers a scalable framework for advancing precision radiation therapy through structured post-residency education.
