Research Project Description:
The student will have the opportunity to learn about the application of radiation physics in the treatment of cancer. For this project, the student involvement centers around data analysis of films taken to map the radiation dose deposited from the Mobetron linear accelerator. The student is expected to use a film scanner and MatLab software and generate programs that handle processing of data sets. The student will receive guidance from a medical physics resident and a faculty medical physicist. Other group members may contribute as needed.
