Institute of Medical Physics
The Institute of Medical Physics (IMP) within the School of Physics, University of Sydney, draws together research and teaching expertise across the University and its affiliated hospitals and research institutes.
Our research is highly multidisciplinary and involves the application of fundamental physics to challenging problems in medicine and biology. A key aspect of our research is the application of radiation physics, dosimetry and radiobiology to cancer treatment and to radiation detection and protection.
Monte Carlo Radiation Transport
Applications include: radiotherapy verification, radiation detector response, dosimetry in mixed radiation fields (e.g. space radiation).
Radiation biology of intensity modulated radiation therapy and other advanced radiotherapies
Radiation and 3D gel dosimetry for radiation oncology and medical imaging
Motion correction for radiation oncology and nuclear medicine imaging
Functional and molecular imaging
- Radionuclide standards development
- Optical characterisation of tissues
- Characterisation of tissues using terahertz imaging
- Phantom materials for microimaging
