Course | | Description | Dosimetry Calculations: Basic Monitor Unit Determination | | This module addresses the quantities and calculations necessary for basic monitor unit (MU) measures used in linear accelerator treatment applications. Related terms, concepts, and formulae essential for any professional performing MU calculations are explained. The module concludes with virtual patient exercises, using example-only data tables to calculate relevant treatment values. | IMRT:Introduction to Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy | | IMRT is a technique to deliver conformal dose distributions to tumor volumes while sparing normal tissues. This modulation, or variation of the delivered dose distribution is much more complex than can be achieved using traditional custom blocks, wedges or missing tissue compensators. Topics in this module include equipment requirements; anatomy contouring, target delineation and normal tissues anatomy contouring; and patient-specific quality control. Treatment planning systems, including forward planning and inverse planning techniques are discussed. | Model Based Segmentation Training | | It is the purpose of this training to demonstrate the various functions available in Pinnacle3 Model Based Segmentation (MBS) software and to provide an overview of the advanced options available in MBS. | Quality Assurance in Radiation Oncology: An Essential Element | | Long a feature of the industrial and business worlds, Quality Assurance (QA) is a growing concern in health care settings: successful QA programs ensure the safety of patients and personnel while delivering high quality health care and assuring the best use of resources, with a team-based and evidence-based approach to solving problems, setting goals, and analyzing results. This module provides an overview of the development, growth and application of QA (and the related concept of Total Quality Management) in health care, and specifically addresses the use of QA protocols in Radiation Oncology. Periodic quality assurance tests for the radiation therapy suite are discussed in detail. | CT9114T - Brilliance CT Big Bore Differences Certification Exam | | This module contains ONLY the certification exam for the associated eLearning course. If you have not completed the eLearnng course, do not proceed. |
