The integration of Radiotherapy, Imaging and Health Physics within the CCMB Division of Medical Physics, ably supported by our well-equipped Nuclear Electronics and Medical Devices Services, enables Medical Physics researchers to tackle some unique multi-disciplinary research projects. Research activities within the Division focus on developing the theory, understanding, tools, equipment and the techniques that will better enable us to provide high quality cost effective health care. Our interests include basic and applied research, as well as the design, development and evaluation of clinical equipment.

The program is supported by a small but dedicated group of computer specialists, and we have access to state of the art imaging and radiotherapy equipment at CancerCare Manitoba and in the associated teaching hospitals as well as computing resources both at CCMB and through the University of Manitoba.

The research interests and expertise within the Division include:

• Monte Carlo Simulation
• Portal Image Dosimetry and Treatment Verification
• Radiation Therapy Optimization
• Virtual Reality in Radiation Therapy
• Low Dose CT algorithms
