Part 1: Part 2: Chris Today, we are joined by Brad Lofton, a diagnostic and nuclear medical physicist who serves as chief executive officer of the Colorado Associates in Medical Physics, or CAMP, where he’s worked since 2010. Brad earned a BS in biomedical...
Introduction Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FEMA) represents a systematic approach to identifying and prioritizing potential failures in clinical processes. The methodology involves scoring failure modes on three key criteria: severity (impact on patient or staff...
Colorado’s Go-To Fluoroscopy Training Gets a Critical Overhaul When the original Rocky Mountain AAPM fluoroscopy training was launched in 2010 (original authors Steve Jones and Doug Pfeiffer), it quickly became a widely adopted solution for meeting...
Picture this: A law enforcement officer enters an MRI suite wearing his full gear, confident that since no scan is in progress, no machinery is in use. Within seconds, he’s pinned against the massive magnet by the metal in his equipment, unable to move. This...
Introduction When a Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) paper in April 2025 claimed that CT scans could be responsible for 5% of all new cancer cases in the U.S., it set off waves of concern across the healthcare landscape. This brought a lot of...
From humble beginnings to respected industry leader, CAMP’s story reveals how patient-centered values and quiet leadership built a medical physics practice that stands apart. Founder Jerry White shares the journey. How CAMP Was Born: Building Something...
Introduction: The Role of 3D Printing in Modern Healthcare 3D printing is revolutionizing healthcare, making a significant impact in areas like prosthetics, surgical planning, and now, radiation therapy. One of its most important applications is the creation of...
High-Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a specialized cancer treatment that delivers targeted radiation directly to tumors. To help us understand the complexities of this treatment, we spoke with Nicole Bunda-Randall, a therapeutic medical physicist with CAMP who...
Ever wonder what it’s like to work behind the scenes in radiation oncology, ensuring life-saving treatments are delivered with precision? Therapeutic medical physicists play a crucial role in cancer care, combining science, technology, and teamwork to ensure...
