Today we have a guest post from Calyn Moulton, a UWA physics PhD student who presented at the 2014 ACPSEM WA Branch annual scientific meeting. During the meeting, I presented some work on evaluating image registrations applied to CT scans from external beam radiotherapy and high-dose rate brachytherapy planning. Presenting was a great opportunity toRead more…
Today we have a guest post from Ryan Begley, a UWA physics undergraduate student who worked with the medical physics group during the university break. Over the university vacation I undertook a 5 week internship with the Medical Physics Research Group. My supervisor, Professor Martin Ebert, found a great project for me that was interesting andRead more…
PhD student Calyn Moulton and other students from the Medical Physics Research Group will be presenting at the 2014 ACPSEM WA Branch annual scientific meeting being held this Saturday (19th July, 2014). The annual scientific meeting is an opportunity for clinical and research physicists, engineers and students to discuss topics related to physics and engineering inRead more…
The fifth Biennial Cancer Council Research Symposium, hosted by Cancer Council Western Australia, is an opportunity for local cancer researchers to share their research findings with the local scientific and medical community. Cancer Council WA invites researchers and health professionals working in the field of cancer to submit an abstract. When: Thursday 20 November 2012Read more…
Last week we visited Hollywood Primary School, our CSIRO Scientists in Schools partner, to share our work on medical physics. Students from years 4-7, as well as year 2, learnt how science is applied in medicine. They discovered how medical physicists help people via imaging, treatment and safety. The students identified fruit and vegetables from MRI scans; watched brain activity change with visual stimulationRead more…
