Grant Activity:
Enabling next generation radiotherapy for cancer: Development of novel Quality Assurance instrumentation for Proton Therapy
Purpose:
Proton Therapy is a new form of radiotherapy that has many benefits over conventional radiotherapy and is particularly useful for childhood cancers.
To maximise the benefits of proton therapy, we need to develop instruments called microdosimeters to accurately measure the physical and biological dose of radiation received by the patient. Our research will develop and test a novel microdosimeter for proton therapy to coincide with the opening of the new Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy
