About Department

                           Objectives of the department:

Commissioning of Medical Accelerator, radiation treatment planning, accurate and precise dose delivery to patient, radiation dosimetry, dose calculation, Calibration, Quality Assurance, maintenance of the Tele-therapy and Brachytherapy machines, procurement and disposal of radioactive sources and finally ensuring radiation safety for the patient, staff and public and implementation of radiation protection rules as per Atomic Energy Regulatory Board guidelines are some of the important functions of the department. The department actively involves in medical physics research, education and training of medical physicists, radiation oncologists and radiotherapy technologists. International standards of dosimetry are maintained by participating in international IAEA/BARC dose inter-comparison program. The Department also advises and assists allied departments like Radiology, Nuclear Medicine to implement radiation safety, procurement of radiation generating equipment and radioactive sources.
