Medical Physics in Radiation Oncology Division

Research in our Division is dedicated on improvements of radiotherapy techniques using photons and ion beams. In the ongoing projects we focus on the adaption of the treatment to dynamic changes of target volumes and organs at risk under therapy, due to therapeutic response, organ motion or patient setup. Image-guided and time-adapted therapy is being developed to combine high precision dose delivery with online imaging of 3D anatomy and online monitoring of 3D dose distributions.
