Physician-specialists in radiotherapy-oncology

These doctors are in charge of proton therapy treatments and patient follow-up during and after treatment, for example regarding the effect of therapy and possible side effects.

Medical radiation physicists

The medical radiation physicists and their assistants are responsible for preparing the treatment plan and its peer review. They check the quality and physical effect of the treatment plan as well as the quality of the proton therapy device itself on a daily basis. During the CT-simulation and the proton therapy treatment, they have an assisting role. Medical radiation physicists continuously research new techniques to implement them.
