Research Interest
Radiation therapy, a proven cancer treatment, is employed to treat fifty percent of all cancer patients. Recent advances in the techniques of radiation delivery have highlighted the advantages of increasing the precision with which the radiotherapeutic dose distribution can be applied within the body. The vast majority of work in Dr. Jaffray’s laboratory focuses on the development of novel imaging systems and concepts to improve the precision of therapy by generating images at the time of therapy for the purpose of guiding the treatment delivery.
