Cancer AxisResearch Focus
Improvement of radiation therapy through the development and clinical implementation of accurate dosimetry techniques. The research is performed at the level of beam calibration (reference dosimetry) as well as patient-specific dose calculations using Monte Carlo methods that take into account effects of organ motion (4D Monte Carlo).
