Overview

The Medical Dosimetry at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston offers a two-year track with two educational delivery options leading to the Bachelor of Science degree.

Medical Dosimetrists are vital members of the radiation oncology team, working closely with radiation oncologists, medical physicists and radiation therapists to create customized radiation treatment plans designed to target cancer while sparing normal tissue. In order to carry out this work, medical dosimetrists must develop a knowledge base that includes, but is not limited to, human anatomy, clinical disease processes, radiation physics, and computer technology.

Medical dosimetrists use multimodality imaging, including CT, MRI and PET scans, to construct three-dimensional treatment plans that will allow the delivery of high doses of radiation to a tumor while minimizing the risk to sensitive surrounding tissues. In the course of their work, medical dosimetrists also contribute to excellence in patient care by participating in quality assurance and cutting edge clinical research.
