Hi guys

I am planning to sit the national Canadian radiography exam. Does anyone know the CAMRT exam and have any helpful information for passing it.

check out Ferris State University in Big Rapids, MI. Excellent program and you dont need a 4.0 to get in. Good luck.

hey, forgot about this forum. i got into Methodist. they took in 14 students this year, way too much according to everyone i talk to. anyway, so that just makes the market for therapists even more saturated.

therapy is ok, but looking for something more stimulating. setups get pretty routine, hence boring.

i wanna do dosimetry, but i basically have 2 options. i could finish RTT school and do another year of dosimetry school. or if i'm lucky enough to find an internship or job with someone willing to train me as a dosimetrist.

how did you make out?

This is my second quarter in medical physics and I'm having problems trying to figure out answers to my assignments. One of the questions i need to figure out is:

2)Refer to the drawing to answer the question: Two 10 MV beams treat a patient. Assume SAD setup. The isocenter is the cross symbol. Determine the dose the patient receives from both beams at points A, and B, and C if the dose to the isocenter is 200 cGy per day. The isocenter is 10 cm deep from the anterior beam and 12 cm deep from the lateral beam. The field size is 12 x 16 for both fields.

A: 2 cm off axis from CAX of AP beam and 12 cm deep (diagonal).
B: depth of dmax from AP beam, on central axis
C: 20 cm deep from lateral beam on central axis

Break up the question into separate parts:

a) dose from AP to point A, b) Dose from AP to point B, Dose from AP to point C, dose from lateral beam to point A, etc


Unfortunately, I can't post the diagram on here. But picture an AP beam and a lateral beam with 200cGy at the isocenter. And a little to the right of the isocenter in the 4th quadrant is pt A. Pt B is in the 1st quadrant exactly above the isocenter with dmax approx 2.5cm from the beam and point C is directly on the -ve X axis to the left of the isocenter. If anyone is willing to help, I can attach the entire question to you by email.

Someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help.......my assignment is due on Monday. We get one every week.

I teach at the Sinai-Grace School of Radiologic Technology.
Physics and Exposure Technique.

I attended a registry review with my students a few years ago and my students had their hands up to answer every question from the presenter.
He started to call on one of my students by her first name because she had all of the answers.

Sitting behind us were about six Baker students. During a break, they asked if the presenter could come and teach them physics because they were about to graduate and did not know half of the information he was talking about.

I would suggest a hospital based program over Baker after hearing their student’s comments.

Try our program at Detroit Medical Center.
