About
Sam Beddar is a leading figure in medical physics, whose research centers on advanced radiation dosimetry and real-time treatment verification for cancer therapy. His major contributions lie in developing innovative detector systems that enhance the precision and safety of brachytherapy and external beam radiotherapy. Notably, Beddar pioneered a high‑Z inorganic scintillator‑based detector for time‑resolved in vivo dosimetry during high‑dose‑rate (HDR) and pulsed‑dose‑rate (PDR) brachytherapy, a breakthrough that enables independent treatment verification and real‑time error detection. This work, published in 2021 and already cited 25 times, provides a rigorous uncertainty budget and demonstrates the detector’s clinical viability. Beyond this, his broader portfolio of highly cited papers has shaped modern approaches to scintillation dosimetry and quality assurance. With hundreds of citations across his career, Beddar’s research has had a tangible impact on patient safety and treatment accuracy. His achievements include leadership roles in professional societies and multiple awards for innovation in medical physics, making him a key resource for students and researchers seeking to advance real‑time dosimetry in radiation oncology.
