Physicists have sold many of us the line that per-patient IMRT QA must be done, forever... because safety. In reality it's probably because: (physicist) job security. Hope it goes away someday. Many academic institutions have abandoned the per-patient QA process FWIW.

I've heard that it comes down to have an independent third-party verification? Rather the software just spits out what the machine says and is part of the Linacs in house software?

Totally. Have worked at places that do both.

It would be incredibly smart for the company to give genesis so many for cheap. This is how it happens.

It will take sometime but now that they have a clinical trial they can POINT to (unlike what we have seen in proton) there will be patients wanting this. Get ready to compete against your local genesis. Then next thing you know your hospital is getting one.

These mri Linac companies are doing it well.

I think the joke is .. fine .. but I’ve never once supported artificial regulations prop up the job market.

We can start paying us to dig ditches at our FMV, but that’s just not a great long term solution.

One of the first things I did in both residency and job interviews was to find a way to quickly, but organically, say that my spouse was not locked into a rigid professional career and would be moving with me.

I highly recommend this tactic to anyone who can use it.
