Mechanical Engineering at UOIT, Canada MASc in Nuclear Engineering
(Radiation Science) at UOIT
- Slide 3
- RESEARCH PROJECT Work at AIT, Health & Environment
department, Biomedical Systems Enrolled at the Medical University
of Vienna, PhD in Medical Physics Development of a heterogeneous,
breathing thorax phantom with moveable tumor for treatment planning
system verification
- Slide 4
- TRAINING AT AIT
- Slide 5
- TRAINING AT MUV TitleLasers in medicine Advanced radiotherapy
techniques Physical fundamentals of radio oncology SupervisorProf,
Leitgeb R, Prof. Pircher M. Prof. Dietmar G. Dr. Stock M.
DescriptionIntroduction to physics, working principles and medical
applications of various kind of lasers Journal club, new trends in
radiotherapy including photon/ ion beams delivery techniques,
imaging and clinical studies Operational principles of beam
delivery units, dosimetry, treatment planning and advanced
radiotherapy techniques NoteMandatory first year courses
- Slide 6
- TRAINING AT MUV Visit of the Vienna General Hospital oncology
department 100-120 treated patients per day 5 LINACs

- PROJECT BACKGROUND Objective: To measure dose of a moving lung
tumor (online and offline) in order to validate treatment planning
system The tumor is not moving alone in the human body
- Slide 9
- PROJECT BACKGROUND Current state of the art radiation therapy
phantoms Limitations Only tumor motionChest wall motion but only 1D
tumor motion Metal components CIRS - Dynamic Thorax Phantom RSD -
Dynamic Anatomical Respiring Humanoid Phantom
- Slide 10
- RECENT WORK Study of: the current state of the art phantoms and
their limitations the commercially available tissue equivalent
materials possible lung tumor motion Design based on the beam eye
view Solid material appears to be expanding and contracting The
tumor moves in 3D Lung expansion motion together with rib cage
motion Three tissue equivalent materials used representing soft
tissue, bones and lungs Innovative design, never been done before
Virtual phantom has been constructed in CAD
- Slide 11
- RECENT WORK Proposal submitted on 3 rd of June for FFG Bridge
project Industrial partner: Elimpex (Austrian medical supplies
retail and research company) University partner: Medical University
of Vienna (Part of the Vienna General Hospital)
- Slide 12
- EXPERIMENTAL WORK MY LAB UP TO NOW
- Slide 13
- FUTURE THINGS TO DO Continuing and finishing design Selection
of detectors for photon and ion beam therapy Looking for a
collaboration within ARDENT Visiting Durham Regional Cancer Centre
(Canada), in a week Meeting with Dr. Anthony Waker, in a week
Learning German finally (outside of AIT), August Taking mandatory
courses at MUV, September
