Focused on the development and implementation of tools and techniques for precision image guided brachytherapy (IGBT) and dose monitoring.
People: Araujo, Batchelar, Hilts, Milette
Experimental Radiobiology Group
Focused on the development and implementation of tools and techniques for precision image guided brachytherapy (IGBT) and dose monitoring.
People: Jirasek, Haston, Hyde
High precision radiotherapy (including SABR and VMAT)
Projects in high precision radiotherapy involve the application of novel state of the art techniques such as volumetric arc radiotherapy to complex sites and treatments.
People: Hyde, Milette, Teke
Medical imaging
Medical imaging research at CSI and Interior Health is centred around a range of projects, including cone beam CT, generalize detector quantum efficiency, digital mammography, quality control in clinical imaging, and patient dose reduction within imaging protocols.
People: Bjarnason, Feldman, Rajapakshe
Medical Physics and Data Analytics Cluster
The Medical Physics and Data Analytics Cluster (MP DAC) combines the expertise of UBC Okanagan Statisticians and Medical Physicists with BC Cancer Agency Centre for the Southern Interior and Interior Health Authority Medical Physicists to apply novel approaches to the investigation of radiation therapy response and cancer imaging, with the goal of improving cancer treatment delivery for the effect of more cures.
