ASTRO’s #qualityimprovement efforts were on full display during yesterday’s #AAPM2022 session on Building a Better #Safety Net. @YiRongPhD discussed the amazing work @MayoRadOnc is doing in standardization and automation, building on our framework. #SINA #ROILS #IHERO #APEx

Great that we can now offer cardiac ablation as well. Dedicated work by Physicists Weiguo Lu and Dr Xuejun Gu to map the cardiograph information onto the CT for Dosimetry to plan and therapy to deliver.
Celebrating our senior #MedPhys resident @SarahWisnoskie’s upcoming graduation! Can’t believe she only has a few weeks left. So glad she will be staying on at @UNMC as faculty! 🥳

So excited to share this work with the world! 🎉Integration of AI into the radiation therapy clinic - now standard for these patients. Bonus: it was a lot of fun to be a part of this multidisciplinary team effort 😊. More to come!
#AI outperforms humans in creating #cancer treatments, but do doctors trust it? The results of a study led by Drs. @CmcintoshAi, @auTomatePurdie, @leigh_conroy and @aleberlin2, and published in @NatureMedicine suggest it depends! Access the paper here→go.nature.com/3uIZkkR

On this #tbt we wish a belated happy birthday to Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu, the “First Lady of Physics”(5/31/12-2/16/97) Dr. Wu was a physicist who contributed to the fields of particle physics, quantum physics, medicine, and opened doors for women in STEM today. #WomenInSTEM
Check out this📸google photo album of the @UNMC #MedPhys residents! It's clear that our residents are valuable members of the clinical team & participate in a wide variety of clinical procedures. And they also have lots of fun in #Omaha too! 😊🤓🤩 Link: photos.app.goo.gl/wYEkiNDMoy…

Fight like a queen! Congrats to Maureen Grace, who marked her final radiation treatment by bringing tiaras for Dr. Nathan Bennion and the rest of her care team. COVID-19 hasn’t stopped cancer and it won’t stop the health care workers and patients who bravely take it on each day.
