I have extensive experience in radiation therapy treatment planning, having worked with various treatment planning systems such as Eclipse and Pinnacle. My role involved creating and optimizing treatment plans for patients, ensuring accurate dose delivery while minimizing exposure to healthy tissues. I collaborated closely with oncologists and dosimetrists to tailor plans to individual patient needs, adhering to clinical protocols and safety standards. My expertise includes IMRT, VMAT, and SBRT techniques, and I regularly perform quality assurance to verify plan accuracy.

Ensuring accuracy and safety involves rigorous quality assurance (QA) protocols. I perform routine checks on linear accelerators, including output calibration, beam profile analysis, and mechanical alignment. I also conduct patient-specific QA using tools like ion chambers and film dosimetry to verify treatment plans. Additionally, I stay updated with AAPM and IAEA guidelines to implement best practices. Regular maintenance, staff training, and incident reporting systems further enhance safety. My proactive approach minimizes risks and ensures compliance with regulatory standards.

I have hands-on experience with brachytherapy, including both high-dose-rate (HDR) and low-dose-rate (LDR) techniques. My responsibilities include source calibration, treatment planning using software like BrachyVision, and ensuring proper source placement. I work closely with radiation oncologists to design treatment plans that deliver precise doses to target areas while sparing surrounding tissues. I also conduct QA checks on brachytherapy equipment and sources to ensure safety and accuracy. My experience spans gynecological, prostate, and breast brachytherapy, adhering to established protocols and guidelines.

I stay current by attending conferences like AAPM and ESTRO, reading peer-reviewed journals, and participating in continuing education courses. I am an active member of professional organizations, which provide access to the latest research and best practices. Additionally, I collaborate with colleagues to discuss emerging technologies and techniques. This continuous learning ensures I remain knowledgeable about advancements in radiation therapy, imaging, and safety protocols, enabling me to implement innovative solutions in my work.

When discrepancies arise, I first verify the data and consult with the treatment team to identify the root cause. I then implement corrective actions, such as revising the plan or recalibrating equipment, ensuring all changes are documented. Communication is key; I inform all stakeholders promptly and transparently. I also conduct a thorough analysis to prevent recurrence, updating protocols if necessary. My approach prioritizes patient safety and maintains the integrity of the treatment process while fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
