Peng Jin Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Peng Jin obtained his MSc in Electrical Engineering in 2013 at the University of Twente, The Netherlands. In his final project, he designed and manufactured a deformable and MRI-compatible prostate phantom. In addition, he developed a real-time automatic approach based on the active appearance model to segment the prostate during the MRI-guided prostate biopsy procedure, in collaboration with the Radboud University Medical Center, The Netherlands. Since the autumn of 2013, Peng Jin started working as a PhD student at the Department of Radiation Oncology of the Academic Medical Center, The Netherlands. His research focuses on the geometrical uncertainties in the image-guided esophageal cancer radiotherapy and aims to improve the accuracy of radiotherapy for esophageal cancer. This project is sponsored by Elekta. Peng Jin’s project started with the feasible implantation of fiducial markers around the esophageal tumour to mark the borders of the primary tumour in the craniocaudal direction. With the clear identification of the fiducial markers in the CT and cone-beam CT, interfractional position variation and respiration-induced tumour motion were quantified to help with creating a direction- and region- specific margin recipe. He has successfully published the majority of his work in Radiotherapy and Oncolog y and presented his work at ESTRO and SPIE Medical Imaging conferences. Peng Jin expects to finish his PhD project at the end of 2017. After obtaining his PhD, he hopes to continue working in the research field of image-guided radiotherapy.
