Who is the guest?

Vladimír Vondráček

Vladimír Vondráček is responsible for irradiating tumors located in complex positions with precision to tenths of a millimeter. His main goal is to protect healthy tissue from radiation as much as possible while destroying those that threaten life. He founded the medical physics department at Thomayer Hospital and led a special department at Bulovka Hospital. Besides hard radiation, he also enjoys hard music and isn’t afraid to speak his mind.
