Abstract Purpose To promote diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), an educational presentation hands‐on session was organised to raise awareness of STEM career opportunities among high school girls introduce the students field medical physics. Materials Methods The study involved 65 first‐year Senior High School girls, aged 13–16, pursuing general science Accra, Ghana. This initiative, by Girls Excellence Movement (GEM) collaboration with a United States (US)...
Abstract Purpose With cancer ranking as the third leading cause of death in Philippines and a disparity healthcare resources across regions, this research aimed to assess state radiotherapy medical physics country. Methodology The study utilized comprehensive online survey with 94 structured questions answered by 19 clinics. Results Most participants were within 1–3 years training (41%), slight majority working private hospitals (55%). linear accelerators (LINACs) universally used one Co‐60...
PurposeTo assess physics quality assurance (PQA) practices in less resourced RT-centers to improve of care.MethodsA preliminary study was conducted 2020 thirteen select RT centers six countries and 2021, our team onsite visits all the Ghana, one from initial survey. The included private, two public institutions (denoted Public-1- –2). Follow-up surveys were sent 17 medical physicists site visit. Questions centered on topic equipment, institutional practice, assurance, management, safety...
Abstract This case report describes a 45‐min active learning lesson plan that engages 4th–5th and 6th–8th grade school students in spatial reasoning through review of medical imaging. The reviews different planar orientations cross‐sections computed tomography (CT) images familiar objects. is designed to introduce the idea scientists are key contributors healthcare, including imaging technologies facilitate visualization internal structures patients without invasive procedures. demonstrates...
Abstract Purpose Clinical image pairs provide the most realistic test data for registration evaluation. However, optimal is unknown. Using combinatorial rigid optimization (CORRO) we demonstrate a method to estimate alignment rigid‐registration of clinical pairs. Methods Expert selected landmark were each CT/CBCT pair six cases representing head and neck, thoracic, pelvic anatomic regions. Combination subsets k number (k‐combination set) generated without repeat form large set k‐combination...
Purpose: Expert selected landmark points on clinical image pairs to provide a basis for rigid registration validation. Using combinatorial optimization (CORRO) statistically characterized reference data set of the pelvis by estimating optimal registration. Materials ad Methods: Landmarks each CT/CBCT pair 58 cases were identified. From pairs, combination subsets k-number generated without repeat, forming k-set k=4, 8, and 12. A between was computed k-combination (2,000-8,000,000). The mean...
An initiative to advocate for those underrepresented in radiation oncology.Inspired by the success of #ILookLikeAnEngineer and #ILookLikeASurgeon campaigns, this aimed break down stereotypes traditionally male-dominated fields. In honor Marie Curie's birthday, on November 7, 2018, Society Women Radiation Oncology launched a social media campaign called #WomenWhoCurie day. However, as popularity increased, it become evident that members wider community, particular women color, nonbinary...
