Research description

We aim to develop a dynamic model of the anatomy of head and neck cancer patients undergoing curative radiotherapy. This model will permit calculation of delivered radiation dose and a better understanding of toxicity outcomes. It will also predict future changes in both organs at risk and the tumour in the move towards increasingly adaptive and individualised radiotherapy.
