Bio/Research

Dr. Reft's research is in the area of radiation dosimetry. He has studied and published a paper on the use of Optically Stimulated Luminescent Detectors for use in photon, electron, proton and carbon radiotherapy. Dr. Reft's current research involves using thermoluminescent detectors to measure the neutron dose and dose equivalent to patients in high energy photon (Energy>10 MV) and proton beams. He is a member of three AAPM Task Groups in radiation dosimetry which are writing reports for publication in: (1) Small field and non-equilibrium condition photon beams, (2) Management of radiotherapy patients with implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators, and (3) Recommendations on the clinical use of luminescent dosimeters.
