# Summary
-PyMedPhys is an open-source medical physics Python library built by a community that values and prioritizes code sharing, review,
-improvement, and peer development. The overall goal of PyMedPhys is to provide medical physicists around the world with a library
-of software solutions to simplify and enhance their research and clinical work. It is inspired by the collaborative work of our
-physics peers in astronomy and the Astropy Project [@astropy].

# Statement of need
-As the treatment delivery methods used in radiation oncology continue to improve, the complexity associated with ensuring precise
-and accurate delivery continues to increase. In response, many medical physicists are turning toward software solutions to help
-maximize efficiency and quality of care. It is common for medical physicists to develop their own in-house code for performing
-these tasks; many of which have been standardized through recommendations by organizations such as the American Association of Physicists
-in Medicine (AAPM). This can lead to the "reinvention of the wheel", where physicists are wasting time writing code to perform a
-function that someone else has already created.

+By creating and promoting an open-source repository, PyMedPhys aims to make the software solutions medical physicists
+have created easily accessible to others. PyMedPhys is currently being implemented around the world for a handful of
+applications[@galic2020method, pastor2021learning, rembish2021automating, rodriguez2020new, baltz2021validation, spezialetti2021using, tsuneda2021plastic, cronholm2020mri, milan2019evaluation, gajewski2021commissioning, lysakovski2021development].
