My research project
AI-Based Proton-Acoustic Dosimetry for Adaptive Proton TherapyProton therapy has emerged as a powerful cancer treatment technique due its superior tumour-targeting capabilities. Both conventional and ultra-high dose-rate proton therapies demand advanced imaging technologies to enable accurate in vivo three-dimensional dose verification and treatment delivery assessment.
A promising imaging technology is proton-acoustics, relying on detecting acoustic waves generated by proton-tissue interaction for real-time in-vivo 3D proton beam imaging and dosimetry. However, proton-acoustic waves are weak, noisy and broadband.
To address these challenges, this project will employ deep-learning techniques for signal denoising and 3D dose reconstruction.
The project is in close collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory and the Institute of Cancer Research
