Radiation
Oncology is a health care discipline that utilizes ionizing
radiation for the treatment of cancer and allied diseases. Radiation
therapy is one of the three major modalities used in cancer
management; it is part of the treatment regime for more than
half of all cancer patients.
The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center's Program
in Medical Dosimetry is designed to prepare students for the
technical, theoretical and psychological aspects of this career.
Students acquire the professional skills of dose calculation,
treatment design, and quality assurance through intensive classroom
and clinical training under the supervision of educated, experienced
certified medical dosimetrists, medical physicists and radiation
oncologists. |
