Context
Title = 25 Years of Technological Advancement in Radiation Oncology
Abstract
Jon Kruse got his Ph.D. in nuclear physics at the NSCL, and in February 1999 took a post doc in therapeutic medical physics at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. He’s been there ever since, and currently leads a group of over 20 physicists in the proton therapy practice. Over that 25-year period there have been several major technological advances in the field of radiation oncology. Jon will describe many of the innovations he’s witnessed and participated in throughout his career. These include image guidance, intensity modulated radiation therapy, the proliferation of particle beams, and treatment of non-malignant conditions such as ventricular tachycardia. This talk will portray the technological landscape of radiation oncology and give some insights into what a career in medical physics may look like.
