There is a rising global demand for radiation therapy, particularly in low- to middle-income countries. The Nano-X project aims to meet this rising global demand by reducing the cost of radiation therapy devices. The Nano-X device is a low-cost radiation therapy device designed to increase the accessibility of accurate and safe radiation therapy.

A Nano-X prototype device has been built and its effectiveness is currently being investigated through clinical trials. These trials include a trial to evaluate the quality of cone-beam CT images of participants using the Nano-X. The aim of this project is to evaluate different motion compensation cone-beam CT reconstruction methods on participants using the Nano-X device as part of the patient imaging trial. This project will also investigate novel motion compensation cone-beam CT reconstruction methods.
Our team undertakes a broad range of internationally significant research and development activities in cancer imaging and targeted radiotherapy that span basic research through to clinical trials of new technology. It is a multidisciplinary team of physicists, engineers, mathematicians and software developers that has strong links with clinicians/hospitals and industry. Students will be encouraged and supported to attend local and international conferences and to publish their work in high-impact journals.
