What does the day look like?

You work 37.5 to 40 hours per week in a hospital oncology or imaging department. Mornings are machine QA at 20% to 25% of time: daily output checks on linacs, multi-leaf collimator position, laser alignment, safety interlocks.

The largest block at 35% to 40% is plan checking in Varian Eclipse, Elekta Monaco or RaySearch RayStation: dose distributions, Organ-at-Risk DVH plots, Monte Carlo calculations. Patient-specific pre-treatment QA at 15% to 20% follows, with phantom arrays, EPID, PTW Octavius, Sun Nuclear ArcCHECK or IBA Dosimetry MatriXX. The rest is logs, TLD/OSL badges, shielding to NCRP Report 151, plus commissioning of linacs, CT simulators, SGRT cameras or SRS/SBRT systems at 10% to 15% and 5% to 10%. The high-tech beam image is around 15% of time; spreadsheets, compliance logs and phantom measurements in dark bunkers are 85%. Linacs treat 08:00 to 18:00, so extended QA runs 18:00 to 23:00 on weekdays or in 8-hour blocks on Saturdays.
