The physics staff includes a certified medical dosimetrist and a board certified medical physicist, who calculate the dose prescribed by the Radiation Oncologist. The Radiation Oncologist oversees the dosimetry and determines the final plan of care. Specialized computer systems are utilized to verify and record patient doses. Equipment is calibrated on a daily basis and at the initial portion of the patient's treatment, a microcomputer chip is also placed within the radiation field to double check the calculated dose.
