In addition, we use a suite of products from Radformation (Autocontour, EZFluence, ClearCalc, ClearCheck, QuickCode), MIM (Maestro, ProtégéAI+), and LAP RadCalc. For routine QA testing, we have a range of advanced physics equipment, including a PTW BeamScan water phantom , several detector arrays (SNC ArcCheck, PTW Octavius 4D, PTW Starcheck Maxi, SNC Mapcheck, FilmQAPro), as well as all types of phantoms and dosimetric devices necessary for routine QA tests. Our team utilizes the TotalQA (ImageOwl) cloud-based platform for QA analysis and management.
You'll be welcomed into an experienced, tight-knit team that includes four physicists, three dosimetrists, and two QA technicians. Our team is built on mutual respect and support, and we encourage everyone to contribute ideas. We practice a round table policy, offering everyone the opportunity to take the lead on projects, and drive improvements.
