The main research directions of the Medical Physics Lab are as follows:
- Quality assurance in advanced radiotherapy applications
- Development of phantoms and methods for the assesment and correction of geometric distortion in MRI images used for radiotherapy applications
- Conventional (TLD, diode, film) and contemporary (3D polymer gel-MRI) experimental dosimetry in modern radiation therapy techniques, such us Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), high dose rate brachytherapy and stereotactic radiotherapy- radiosurgery
- Comparison and evaluation of modern radiotherapy techniques using physical and biological parameters
- Monte Carlo modelling of brachytherapy sources for the generation of dosimetry data for use in treatment planning systems and development of analytical dosimetry models guided by Monte Carlo simulation
- Monte Carlo simulations of high energy x-rays and charge particles for radiotherapy purposes
- Methods and advanced clinical applications in medical imaging
- Medical image processing
- Artificial intelligence in medicine (surgery, cancer imaging, etc.)
- Medical simulation training-virtual reality in medical education
