| https://oncologymedicalphysics.com/ | From the looks of it, OMP looks like an amazing resource that I wish I had access to when I was training. OMP has a clean design with informative yet concise definitions. |
| https://reddit.com/r/MedicalPhysics/ | A forum community of those in the Medical Physics field. |
| https://mydosimetryschool.com/ | An up-and-coming online dosimetry “school” that will offer courses in learning to create treatment plans (e.g., 3D, VMAT, SRS/SBRT) using TPSs from various vendors (e.g., Eclipse, Raystation, Pinnacle, etc.). |
| http://econtour.org/ | View CT scans for a variety of anatomical sites with OARS and PTVs contoured out. Click on the ‘Fundamentals’ tab to learn more about the language used in contouring. |
| https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Radiation_Oncology/Toxicity/QUANTEC | An encompassing list of dose constraints for OARs seen on a daily basis. It also lists the rates of toxicity and the toxicity endpoint for exceeding the specified dose constraints. |
| DOSEPEDIA has no affiliation with any of the websites listed above. |
| Mini-FAQ | |
| Can I download these videos and show my peers? | Yes, as long as the intent is to share for educational purposes. |
| Will the tutorial videos eventually have audio? | It has always been the goal to add audio, but we are not certain when. |
| Help, the text in the tutorial videos are too fast! | Sorry as sometimes, what’s being shown on the screen moves too fast and so the captions follow suit. Three solutions include the following: downloading the ‘Video Speed Controller’ extension for the Chrome browser; playing the video on the Firefox browser and right clicking the video to decrease video speed; downloading the video and using a third party video player (e.g., VLC) to decrease video speed. |
