11 December 2017
Congratulations to Dr Jamie McClelland, who was featured in 's recent campaign video: 'Meet the Stand Up to Cancer Scientists'. A Lecturer in the Medical Physics department at °×С½ãÂÛ̳, Dr McClelland works on real-time imaging of tumours using a new radiotherapy machine known as MR-Linac.Ìý
The MR-Linac has the potential to revolutionise radiotherapy treatment, particularly of tumours that move during treatment, such as lung tumours, because it can provide real-time imaging while the radiotherapy treatment is being delivered. °×С½ãÂÛ̳, in collaboration with the and the in Manchester, is developing image processing methods to estimate the 3D motion of the tumour and other organs from the real-time MR images. This information is then used information to adapt and guide the radiotherapy treatment delivery.
