Pittsburgh, PA 15212
Allegheny Health Network is a Pittsburgh-based healthcare system. For more information about Allegheny Health Network see www.ahn.org. The Department of Radiation Oncology currently employs 4 PhD. physics faculty, 12 clinical physics staff, 17 dosimetrists, 3 physics residents, 21 MD radiation oncology faculty, and 3 medical residents. We plan to add more physicists to our staff in the upcoming year. The Division of Radiation Oncology currently treats over 3000 patients annually on 19 state-of-the-art treatment units (15Elekta Versa HD and an Elekta Unity MR-Linac) and 5 Elekta HDR Flexitrons across 12 facilities. Each facility houses a 4-D CT scanner.
The Therapy Residency Program is based at the new academic cancer center at Allegheny General Hospital (AGH), which houses state-of-the-art machines including an Elekta Unity MR-Linac, two Elekta Versa HDs, Exactrac Robotic system, a Gamma Knife Icon, a GammaPod, and an Elekta HDR Flexitron. Addition of an MR simulator and possibly a research MR scanner are planned in the near future.
