Student Center
A structured place to learn medical dosimetry — from planning fundamentals to MDCB preparation. Practice material will only be published with verified answers and cited sources.
Guided learning paths
Roadmaps of what to understand before a type of case. They teach concepts and point to resources — not how to treat a specific patient.
A learning roadmap: the concepts and resources to understand before planning lung SBRT. It is not instruction on how to treat any specific patient.
A learning roadmap: the concepts and resources to understand before planning definitive prostate IMRT/VMAT. It is not instruction on how to treat any specific patient.
A learning roadmap: the concepts and resources to understand before planning whole-breast radiotherapy. It is not instruction on how to treat any specific patient.
A learning roadmap: the concepts and resources to understand before planning head and neck IMRT or VMAT. It is not instruction on how to treat any specific patient.
A learning roadmap: the concepts and resources to understand before planning brain radiotherapy — glioma, radiosurgery or whole brain. It is not instruction on how to treat any specific patient.
A learning roadmap: the concepts and resources to understand before planning esophageal, pancreatic, liver, rectal or anal cancer radiotherapy. It is not instruction on how to treat any specific patient.
A learning roadmap: the concepts and resources to understand before planning cervix, post-operative endometrial or vulvar radiotherapy and GYN brachytherapy. It is not instruction on how to treat any specific patient.
