Curriculum and Modules for Computer-Based Instruction of Medical Dosimetry

摘要 辐射治疗技术、剂量学、医学物理学和辐射的教育和培训方案 肿瘤学在课堂上教授放射治疗的基本原理，并依赖于学生获得 以计算机为基础的治疗计划(RTP)系统，用于实践，以巩固在 课堂教学和发展规划技能。计划面临的主要缺点和问题包括有限的 使用临床RTP系统；商业RTP系统缺乏灵活性以满足教育/培训需求； 缺乏基于计算机的培训示范课程；以及缺乏基于计算机的学习材料 专门构建以满足RTP教育和培训的需求。总体目标是提供 用于提高外照射剂量计划原理和实践教学的资源 在教育和培训方案中进行放射治疗。拟议的工作主要是针对辐射 治疗技术和剂量学计划，但也将对医学物理学和辐射有价值 肿瘤学课程。

Abstract Education and training programs for radiation therapy technology, dosimetry, medical physics and radiation oncology teach the basic principles of radiation therapy in the classroom and depend on student access to computer-based treatment planning (RTP) systems for hands-on practice to solidify the principles taught in the classroom and to develop planning skills. Major shortcomings and problems facing programs include limited access to clinical RTP systems; inflexibility of commercial RTP systems to meet education/training needs; the absence of a model curriculum for computer-based training; and the lack of computer-based learning materials specifically structured to meet the needs of RTP education and training. The overall goal is to provide resources to improve instruction of the principles and practice of dosimetric planning for external beam radiation treatment in education and training programs. The proposed worked is aimed primarily at radiation therapy technology and dosimetry programs, but also will be valuable for medical physics and radiation oncology programs.
