RESEARCH
Current research areas.
The university hospital centers of Quebec are very active in the field of medical physics research. The research activities cover various subjects, from the development of radiation detectors to image analysis tools and the development of processing techniques, thus touching several sectors of medical physics on current topics that can be discussed at international conferences.
Université de Montréal
- Optimization of the radiotherapy dose and therapeutic impact
- Imaging of cancerous tumors and curative technologies
- Image processing, artificial intelligence
Université Laval
- Brachytherapy and post-implant verification
- Experimental dosimetry
- External radiation therapy
- Fiber dosimetry
- Monte Carlo simulation
Université McGill
The research work of the Medical Physics Unit, carried out by both academic and clinical members, covers a wide range of topics that can be broadly classified under the following themes:
- Macrodosimetry
- Microdosimetry
- Equipment development
- New treatment techniques
- Magnetic resonance imaging
- Machine learning
- Radiation oncology informatics.
