Research Area Of Interest

The use of biomedical technologies to assess the late effects of radiotherapy in breast cancer patients

Thesis Title The Quantitative Analysis of Late Effects In Radiotherapy with Emphasis on 
Fractionation and Conformal Techniques

Summary- Design and Fabrication of a mechanical tool used for measurement of tissue 
stiffening and comparing the rests with those from MRI
Patients recruited for the study- breast cancer women age 20-80 that were treated with 
lumpectomy followed by radiotherapy, with or without chemo-therapy
The assessment, calculations, and images were done at least a year post radiotherapy  
treatment
