[Commentary] There is a special medical physicist at the Sichuan Cancer Hospital. She is from Italy and accompanied her husband to Chengdu in 2015. She is Lucia Clara Orlandini, Academic Director of the Physical and Technical Engineering Department of the Radiation Therapy Center of Sichuan Cancer Hospital.
[Commentary] On July 2, the reporter came to the Sichuan Cancer Hospital and saw that she was standing next to a medical electronic linear accelerator, carefully observing the patient's clinical response, and carefully recording relevant data.
[Commentary] At the beginning of the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia in China, it was the Chinese New Year holiday, and the Lucias had returned to Italy to visit relatives.

It is an important fact that China sends experts to Italy, because we can say that the solidarity between people transcends national and cultural boundaries. I think that China’s experience in Italy is the most basic, because China’s help has been It is very meaningful for Italy.
【Commentary】50-year-old Lucia smiled heartily, although China and Italy have different cultures and living environments, but they never felt "out of place", whether it is the city of Chengdu or the residents here, they are very Tolerant and friendly. Medical physicists are indispensable and important members of radiotherapy for tumors. Lucia, who is generous and humorous in her life, works very seriously. Under her guidance, the Sichuan Cancer Hospital applied the latest absolute dosimetry standards of the International Atomic Energy Agency for the first time, raising the standard of absolute dose calibration for radiotherapy in hospitals.

I think it is very important to have an international exchange, so that it is possible to receive things from our hospital and receive staff from all hospitals in China and abroad, because then we can directly see the different knowledge and experience of the hospital, we can take these Knowledge is brought around, so I think this is very important.
