• Title

  An investigation into the optimal planning technique for the radiotherapy treatment of complex pelvic cancers: 3DCRT, IMRT and RapidArc.
  Summary

  This grant, funded by the NSW Cancer Institute, enabled site visits to centres of excellence in the US and Europe. The experience gained during this project facilitated the impementation of VMAT at NSCC.

• Title

  The dosimetric impact of an "off-axis" contour variation when treating prostate radiotherapy with intensity and volumetric modulated fields
  Summary

  Due to the modulated nature of the fields, a volumetric approach to contour variation is essential when treating with either IMRT or VMAT. The traditional central axis measurement is no longer sufficient as an indicator for dosimetric variation on target dose and fails to inform of the need for plan adaptation. This reseach quantifies the impact a body contour variation may have on the dose to the target for prostate radiotherapy.

• Title

  Conversion of medical images into data: a novel approach to side effect prediction in oropharyngeal radiotherapy patients
  Summary

  This work will test the hypothesis that radiation induced xerostomia (dry mouth) can be predicted prior to the manifestation of clinical signs, based on retrospective quantitative analysis of CT images taken as part of routine clinical care.
