Led commissioning of Radixact systems: commissioning Radixact linear accelerator to provide helical treatment capabilities and high precision cancer care.
Co-led commissioning of Elekta Linacs at VA hospital: played a central role in the commissioning of two linear accelerators at the Zablocki VA hospital providing top notch cancer care for the Veterans.
Led the Radixact Standardization effort: led the recommissioning of a second Radixact system to match the new commissioned Radixact system to be the first site in the world with two matched Radixact system with standardized quality assurance programs
Radixact Machine transfer workflow: assist in establishing a workflow that enable transfer of patients between two Radixact linear accelerators ensuring patient receive on time care with no delays in the event one system goes down providing a time-efficient and dosimetrically robust alternative to replanning.
Co-led development and implementation of SRS program: played a central role in the development of the SRS program at the Zablocki VA hospital, including: -Co-leadership of program implementation and workflow standardization -Establishment of treatment planning and QA protocols for high-precision delivery -Collaboration with neurosurgery and radiation oncology teams -Development of safety and verification processes for SRS Programmatic Impact: The establishment of a high-complexity, high-precision clinical service line, expanding VA capabilities to incorporate stereotactic treatments to serve our veterans.
