PROJECTS
TRUE BEAM Installations and CommissioningUnder my direction Florida Cancer Specialist & Research Institute installed and commissioned 5 TrueBeam accelerators between 2015 and 2020. I led each of these projects from shielding design and review, accelerator specifications, acceptance testing and through commissioning. My team and I commissioned the accelerators and Varian Eclipse TPS for general external beam treatment including stereotactic delivery (SRS and SBRT), prone breast, DIBH, and gated treatment deliveries. |
End-to-End Stereotactic ValidationImplementation of stereotactic treatments requires both internal and external/independent validation of dose accuracy and precise positioning. Integrated testing of all systems from CT simulation, planning as well as SGRT & IGRT delivery must be performed. |
Reducing Linear Accelerator DowntimeUnder my direction Florida Cancer Specialist & Research Institute's radiation therapy clinics implemented a program that increased accelerator up-time from 95% to over 99%. We continued to maintain a 99% uptime level for 4 years. The ten accelerators range from 16 years to 1 years old at eight different clinics. |
