Overview

Ionising radiation can be used for both the diagnosis and treatment of cancer through the use of medical imaging and radiotherapy.  A crucial part of the optimal use of these techniques is a detailed understanding of the transport of the radiation at multiple scales e.g. dose to tissues, organs, and ultimately the cellular level. The project will make use of established monte-carlo simulation codes to model the production and detection of ionising radiation as well as interactions and dose to tissues.
