Medical physics consultation is critical to the safe and appropriate management of patients undergoing reirradiation. A rigorous and efficient workflow in radiation oncology departments is crucial to ensure the safety and quality of treatment. The need for this service is steadily increasing year after year with the increasing complexity of treatment. This article provides an overview of how the Retreatment Special Medical Physics Consult is performed at the University of Michigan, along with a detailed patient-specific example, the results of a survey of how other institutions approach this workflow, and recommendations for future work to improve this process.
