Robert Miller, MS Medical Physics

Medical Radiation Physicist

Qualified medical physicists work directly with the radiation oncologist during treatment planning and delivery. They oversee the work of the dosimetrist and help ensure that complex treatments are properly tailored for each patient. Medical physicists are responsible for developing and directing quality control programs for equipment and procedures. Their responsibility also includes making sure the equipment works properly by taking precise measurements of the radiation beam and performing other safety tests on a regular basis.

Robert Miller received his Masters degree in Medical Physics from UCLA and was certified in 1976 by the American College of Radiology in Therapeutic Radiologic Physics. He brings over 30 years experience to our team. Mr. Miller has served as a consultant to numerous hospitals in the Portland metro area and the Pacific Northwest. He is currently employed full time at our facility.
