Summary:
Quality and Safety in Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) Planning and Delivery. IMRT is a radiotherapy technique that is widely used to either escalate dose to target structures or to limit dose to organs at risk. My research interests stem from our clinical efforts to maintain a high level of quality and safety while accommodating the increased complexity associated with IMRT planning and delivery. Specific projects have included the use of the electronic portal imager for patient specific quality assurance; dosimetry of IMRT fields; and development of IMRT techniques.
