AAPM William
D. Coolidge Recipient for 2003
Kenneth R. Hogstrom, Ph.D.
Kenneth Ray Hogstrom, Ph.D., DABR, a Professor of Radiation Physics at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, holds the P.H. and Fay Etta Robinson Distinguished Professorship in Cancer Research. Dr. Hogstrom is Director of Medical Physics Programs at The University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at Houston.
Born in 1948 in Houston, Texas, Dr. Hogstrom received his M.S. in Physics from the University of Houston in 1972. Following a short period of active duty as an officer in the Army Field Artillery, Dr. Hogstrom was introduced to medical physics by Dr. Alfred Smith, with whom he worked on the neutron therapy project at M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute (1973-4). He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Rice University in 1976, after which he rejoined Dr. Smith as a Research Scientist at the University of New Mexico, where he worked on the pion therapy project in Los Alamos.
Dr. Hogstrom has published over 80 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals. His research has successfully applied radiation transport to develop methods and techniques of dose measurement, dose calculation, treatment planning, treatment delivery, and quality assurance for electron, pion, and neutron beam therapy. Many today utilize the Hogstrom pencil-beam algorithm for electron treatment planning. Accolades include the AAPM Farrington Daniels Award for work in neutron and the Becton-Dickinson Career Achievement Award for work in electron dose calculations.
Dr. Hogstrom’s contributions to education include short courses in therapeutic radiological physics and teaching and mentoring many graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. He has taught electron beam physics regularly in AAPM summer schools and review courses. He has written over 40 books, chapters, and reports, his contributions to AAPM Summer Schools being the most rewarding. For these and other contributions, he received the 1995 Faculty Achievement Award in Education at M. D. Anderson.
Dr. Hogstrom served as AAPM President in 2000, where he contributed to improving the association’s long range planning, improving relations with our allied health professional colleagues through actions as assisting in forming RSEA, and establishing the Summer Undergraduate Fellowship Program to address issues of manpower and student recruitment. While serving on the board of the ABMP, Dr. Hogstrom crafted a plan that resulted in the present ABR-ABMP Working Agreement. After serving as the vice-chair of the AAPM Commission on Accreditation, he led the first CAMPEP Residency Education Program Review Committee to develop guidelines for accreditation of medical physics residency programs. He is a Fellow of the AAPM and ACMP, where he continues to have opportunities to contribute to our medical physics profession by serving as chair of the AAPM Public Education Committee and co-chair of an ad-hoc committee on AAPM-ACMP Professional Medical Physics Issues.
