Treatment Planning and Plan Verification for MRI-Linac hybrid devices

• Applicant: Dr. Asja Pfaffenberger
• Subject Area: Medical Physics, Biomedical Technology
• Term: from 2015 to 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 286490635

For MRI-guided Radiation therapy, the interplay between dose heterogeneity caused by secondary electron deflection in magnetic fields, and anatomical changes in lung, due to breathing motion, will be investigated. Both simulation work and experiments will be carried out.
