  schema:description "Medical physicists, who keep radiotherapy machines accurate and safe, are in even shorter supply than oncologists in under-resourced systems. Routine linac quality assurance is now largely automated and log-file based, so one physicist could review it remotely while trained radiation therapists take the measurements, covering three to five machines once regulators define the supervision standard."@en ;
