Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) technologies aim to improve the accuracy of the delivery of radiation with the hopes of decreasing damage to healthy tissues and sensitive organs. Synergetic MRI-Radiation therapy machines are a developing technology that can provide improved tumour tracking during treatment to help accommodate for patient motion or unaccounted for bodily changes over the...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

My laboratory is focused on developing a deep understanding of chronic lung disease using novel imaging methods, in patient-based research. The overarching goal of my team’s research is to discover, validate and clinically translate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers while generating the evidence to support the clinical use of lung MRI to change asthma and COPD patient outcomes.
