Facilities and Equipment

Medical Physics Residents will have workspaces in the same office as the Radiation Oncology Residents, at the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center in Morgantown. They will have access to the EPIC Hospital Information System, the Aria Radiation Oncology Information System, the Eclipse Treatment Planning System, MIM Maestro, Fuji Synapse PACS, and a suite of Radformation applications to support the clinical workflow.

The Physics group has a comprehensive set of quality assurance and research equipment, including a film dosimetry system, a Raise 3D printer, a Landauer OSLD reader, several farmer chambers, small volume ionization chambers, and electrometers, well chambers, survey meters, a SunScan 3D water tank, and a variety of phantoms for imaging and dosimetry.

The Radiation Oncology Department in Morgantown has a Siemens Somatom Go.Open Pro, a Trilogy, a TrueBeam, a Gamma Knife Perfexion, a Bravos HDR Remote Afterloader, and a Zeiss Intrabeam system. We have a satellite clinic in Fairmont with an iX. Linear accelerators are slated to be replaced with TrueBeams from 2025 through 2027. Residents will perform QA on these systems and participate in special procedures such as Stereotactic Radiosurgery, Brachytherapy, Intraoperative Radiation Therapy, Total Body Irradiation, 4DCT Motion Analysis, Gated Treatments, and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy.

In addition to the activities in Morgantown, the resident will have access to opportunities throughout the West Virginia University Health System to observe Theranostics procedures, and to participate in the Commissioning, Acceptance Testing, and Annual QA of linear accelerators. Other hospitals in the WVUHS include Camden Clark Regional Cancer Center, Wheeling Hospital, Berkeley Medical Center, Thomas Memorial, United Hospital Center, and Princeton Community Hospital.
