#Throwback in 2014 – ASTRO and American Association of Physicists in Medicine launched the RO-ILS program at a Congressional briefing, fulfilling a promise of ASTRO’s Target Safely campaign. In the first decade, RO-ILS has amassed 37,000+ events & released 60+ written reports & analysis. ow.ly/VWJy50SmkCH
