Medical Physics

Daniel Bourland  and Michael T. Munley carry out research in the physics of medicine at the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.

Medical Physics research areas include applications of multi-modality oncology imaging in radiation treatment, physical and biophysical modeling, radiation treatment optimization, small-field dose calculations, Monte Carlo modelling of gamma radiosurgery, scatter analysis of cone-beam CT for image-guided radiation treatment, biological effects of low-dose CT imaging, and biophysical aspects of radiation countermeasures.  Flexibility is allowed for experimental and theoretical dissertation topics based on student interests and designated research funding, decided in discussion with the student’s advisor and dissertation committee.
