Research Program
Research Interests
- Linac based SBRT
- Radiodynamic therapy and PET MR implementation
- Non-thermal HIFU for breast cancer
- Implementation of MRI-based treatment planning for 3DCRT and IMRT (project leader)
- MRS applications for radiotherapy (team member)
- MR-guided HIFU for cancer surgery/therapy (project leader)
