About
Raymond Schulz is a medical physicist whose research centers on radiation therapy technology, with particular expertise in stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). His most notable contribution is a comprehensive clinical commissioning framework for the Novalis Tx linear accelerator, a sophisticated treatment platform designed for highly precise, high-dose radiation delivery. Published in 2012 and accumulating 46 citations, this work established practical technical guidelines covering the full workflow from acceptance testing through first clinical treatment — a resource that has proven invaluable to medical physics teams worldwide implementing similar systems. By systematically addressing the unique complexities of the Novalis Tx, which integrates advanced imaging, targeting, and delivery capabilities, Schulz helped standardize the safe clinical deployment of cutting-edge radiotherapy technology. His work bridges the gap between engineering capability and clinical practice, ensuring that institutions can confidently commission and operate these systems to the highest safety and accuracy standards. For students and researchers entering medical physics or radiation oncology, Schulz's contributions represent a foundational reference point for understanding the rigorous commissioning process underpinning modern precision radiotherapy.
