Thank you to everyone who stopped by the UMN Radiation Oncology booth at the AAPM Residency Fair! We loved connecting with future medical physicists and sharing what makes our residency program special.
Looking forward to what’s ahead at #AAPM2025! @AAPMHQ#MedPhys#UMNRadOnc
📢 Our team responds in @CTRO_journal:
We address key considerations in modeling renal toxicity for pediatric TBI, including repair kinetics, dose rate, and endpoint selection. @umnradonc

We are so proud of our graduating residents! Thank you to Dr. Erin McCammack (Medical Resident) and Dr. Tim Allen (Medical Physics Resident) for their commitment to patient care, research, and education. You both have incredibly bright futures ahead!
Latest publication is up:
Predicting renal toxicity in pediatric patients receiving HSCT with TBI
This is meta-analysis suggests dose rate is an important factor in renal toxicity

Good news! My work on when 3D printing can save your bacon has received over 1,000 views since publication! Read it here https://t.co/ktwCIlTp3A #ViewsMilestone
It was an honor to participate in this undertaking. Our group looked at lung toxicity in bone marrow transplant patients receiving total body irradiation as part of the transplant conditioning.

A new #RedJournal special issue has published, PENTEC: Pediatric Normal Tissue Effects in the Clinic. This special issue represents years of work researching and writing critical reviews about the treatment of childhood cancers. https://t.co/VNUSDCDWIh
@epolsdofer Absolutely it is. This is the newest version, they even list Herb as one of the authors. I still use the Attix textbook for my class so I can't speak much more than it exists

Happy International Day of Medical Physics! To celebrate, PTW has prepared a little quiz. We invite all our medical physics peers to test their knowledge. The quiz takes us on a short journey through the fascinating history of medical physics. Enjoy!

A very important lesson to the limits of ultra local therapy of neoadjuvant SBRT—> prostatectomy for very high risk dz.
Here are the lessons I learned:
