IX. Professional Service
Clinical Activities
As the chief of physics team, I am responsible to direct the physics and dosimetry team and
assume full responsibility of the physics data and procedures applied to the patients, irrespective
of whether these activities are carried out by the physicists, dosimetrists, or other personnel. My
responsibility has also been to ensure that an adequate and competent physics and dosimetry
team is in place and that the roles of different personnel on the team are appropriately defined.
Calibration of radiation generators or sources is the exclusive most critical responsibility that I
undertake. This includes calibration/commissioning before any machine is released for patient
treatment, periodic calibration of all machines with appropriate quality assurance practices and
maintaining all those documents according to Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
regulations. I have been also responsible to teach dosimetrists and physicists the Intensity
Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) treatment planning using ECLIPSE Treatment Planning
System, High Dose Rate (HDR) and Low Dose Rate (LDR) treatment planning with
Nucletron/Elekta Systems. The following procedures are done where I am responsible either as a
primary physicist in charge or as a supervisory physicist:
Daily, monthly and annual quality assurances on all four linear accelerators at the Cancer Center
(1 Varian Trilogy, 2 Varian EX machines, 1 Varian TrueBeam STX), two linear accelerators at the
Oklahoma VA Medical center (1 Varian Trilogy and 1 Novalis TX machine), HDR delivery unit,
Stereotactic Gamma Knife Radio Surgery unit, and annual quality assurance of the treatment

planning systems, IMRT quality assurance measurements with film using RIT software and
ionization chambers, Map Check and Matrix, electron cutout measurements, post-planning and
weekly chart review with chart close up, High Dose Rate (HDR) and Low Dose Rate (LDR)
brachytherapy treatment planning, quality assurance, and other supports during patient
treatment, prostate seed implant procedure management, special procedures that include Total
Body Irradiation (TBI), 4DCT planning, respiratory gated treatment and Image Guided
Radiotherapy (IGRT), Commissioning, overall treatment delivery and quality assurance of
Stereotactic Radio Surgery (SRS) with Gamma Knife and Trilogy/TrueBeam/Novalis-Brain lab,
systems. Currently I am also in charge of commissioning of the Mevion Proton Therapy Machine
that is supposed to be installed in the cancer center in 2013.
