Nano-X: A new class of cancer radiotherapy system [ 2017 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Paul Keall (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Michael Jackson ,  Prof Michael Barton

Brief description We will create a new class of cancer radiotherapy system that solves the complex problem of how to target a tumour with precision and accuracy even as the patient’s anatomy changes during treatment. Our Nano-X system is built with real-time imaging guidance and treatment adaptation at the heart of the design process; and complex processing tasks have been moved from hardware to software, enabling radical changes to machine design. Together these innovations will ensure better treatment outcomes.
