Facility and Equipment: Johns Hopkins Medicine upholds a tripartite mission of patient care, research, and education. With a commitment to excellence, our department offers comprehensive radiation treatment services across five campuses in the Baltimore and Washington D.C. regions, including the Proton Therapy Treatment Center of Johns Hopkins at Sibley Memorial Hospital. The physics division currently includes 19 faculty physicists, 9 staff physicists, as well as dosimetrists and other staff. Our extensive infrastructure includes nine Elekta linear accelerators, a CyberKnife, two MR simulators, and multiple CT simulators throughout the system. At the proton center, we have three rotating gantries for clinical use and a fixed beam room dedicated to research. We provide a comprehensive range of clinical services at various Johns Hopkins facilities, encompassing intensity-modulated radiation therapy, image-guided radiation therapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy, LINAC-based and CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery, HDR and LDR brachytherapy, as well as radiopharmaceutical therapy. Treatment planning is conducted using the enterprise-wide Raystation treatment planning system. Our treatment management system, MOSAIQ, is implemented enterprise-wide, facilitating seamless collaboration through a shared database.
