Research Masterclass in Radiotherapy Physics 2017

Biophysics: modeling

• Aim at:

– Understanding mechanisms • A fitted model:

– will improve use of current treatments • Understanding a mechanism could: – change modeling approaches – treatments – impact other medical disciplines – True multi-disciplinarity (Epidemiology, Biology, Radiology, Other medical disciplines, …) Parotid gland work: - Identified a critical target for radiation response - Calls for changes in modeling of response /sparing a new structure

- Could change use of technology / change technology - Implications for stem cell transplantation treatment
