Im having trouble learning certain things I should know to be in this field. I understand the very clinical oncology side of things and how to acquire that knowledge. But i don't know squat about the technical side of things. Why is placing the isocenter an important thing? What the hell are wedge fields? what is half beam blocking? besides dvh parameters what makes one plan better than another? google searches in our field are horrible too and attendings just assume you know all this from day one. Our physics books love spending hours on brehmstralung but have very little practical information. Im sure other posts have given such information but I can't find them. Thanks for the help
