#AAPM2022 session on #Ukraine is in room 206 at 4pm. Please stop by to get a #StandWithUkraine pin and badge sticker!

Excellent physics contribution by our prior physics resident Dr. Victor Iakovenko and global expert in reference dosim Dr. Arman Sarfehnia Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre providing more guidance to optimize Elekta Unity MR-Linac Consortium pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37354202/

Excited to share our new paper aimed to improve the precision of reference dosimetry in MR-Linac. #MedPhys #MR_Linac #MRgRT pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37354202/

We had a very exciting week here UTSW Radiation Oncology as we finished treating our last patient on the H&N DARTBOARD trial! This randomized ph II study is comparing daily adaptive RT and near-marginless treatment (1 mm PTV) with standard IGRT using CBCT-based ART (Ethos) for H&N SqCC.

Happy Ukrainian flag day from #HelpUkraineGroup members and trainees! Ruslan Zelinskyi andriy_beznosenko Nelya Melnitchouk MD 🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦🌻 Serhii Brovchuk Viktor Iakovenko, PhD Natalka Suchowerska Andrey Ganytch Yulia Lozko Юлия Северин Anna Fedorova Nadia Honcharenko Oksana Galias

Our Cancer Care Ontario - now Ontario Health guideline for the safe practice of spine #SBRT is NOW open access in Practical Radiation Oncology and setting a standard for Ontario and the world. Thanks to the group of experts for working with me on this. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37597616/

Today was the birthday of our Chief Physicist Steve Jiang. We had a suprise party, and all dressed as Steve to celebrate. Thanks to Mu-Han Lin and David Parsons for the idea and our admins for organizing. UTSW Radiation Oncology

Through a partnership with the Ukrainian Ministry of Health, people with cancer in the country will now have access to modern RT devices with the delivery of Harmony linacs to half of Ukraine’s provinces as well as to the National Cancer Institute in Kyiv

That's us!! 🤩🥳😎

We have been a proud partner to Ukraine since 2012 and are pleased to share that last Friday we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ukrainian Ministry of Health to help ensure people with cancer receive the best radiation oncology care. Photo: Magnus

Dr. Viktor Iakovenko, PhD, has co-authored an American Association of Physicists in Medicine TG-385 report, “Addendum to the AAPM's TG-51 protocol for clinical reference dosimetry of high-energy electron beams,” which will help clinical medical physicists to streamline calibration procedures and assess uncertainty budget.

The second day of the #AAPM2024 meeting was great! Looking forward to more insightful sessions, groundbreaking research, and connecting with amazing professionals.

#HelpUkraineGroup & Global Medical Knowledge Alliance are excited to welcome 2 🇺🇦observers in Canada! 🇨🇦Dr. Orysya Burak & Taras Teleshchuk, #radonc and medphys from Lviv Regional Cancer Center, attended #caro2024 & observing @ Princess Margaret and Sunnybrook Hospitals.

HUG and GMKA are grateful to Jan Seuntjens, Ph.D. & the Princess Margaret team and Dr. Dylan Breitkreutz with the Sunnybrook Hospital team for organizing the observership and extending their kind welcome. Many thanks to Dr. Viktor Iakovenko, PhD for coordinating the project!

Dr. Viktor Iakovenko, PhD, Assistant Professor, recently spoke at a webinar where he discussed features of MR-guided radiation therapy systems in the presence of strong magnetic field, which drives considerations for equipment selection and quality assurance program development.

Thank you for great event. Can’t wait for the rematches!

Strong UTSW Team at AAPM 2025! #AAPM2025
