Job Details

Job description and missions
The ambition of this project is to provide an innovative focal brachytherapy system, less invasive, with fewer side effects, in rupture with current brachytherapy procedures, capable of accurately irradiating very localized areas, while significantly decreasing the time of the intervention. To achieve such innovative focal brachytherapy system, new guidance system has to be developed in order to control with accuracy the instrument placement during the intervention. A specific challenge is also the accuracy of the dosimetry. This calculation, already critical in standard brachytherapy, is even more important when it comes to target small areas. We propose developing the first clinical treatment planning system that integrate edema prostate model and a fast and personalized Monte Carlo dosimetry calculation on GPU. The hired researcher will be in charge to help, follow and manage this project. The aim is to coordinate the different methods already developed at the lab in order to realize a first prototype. The person hired will actively participate to the R&D required to achieve this project including the necessary validations and evaluations. Valorization of the work will also be an important task of the future project manager.
