Student Presents at 2019 ASTRO Annual Meeting

The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Conference was held from September 15th to 18th in Chicago. Our alum, Apurva Singh, presented her project in an oral presentation, ”A Novel imaging- genomic approach to predict the outcomes of radiation therapy”. It describes a portion of her thesis work related to developing a prediction system based on the image-genome analysis of pre-treatment PET images. The motivation of her work is to determine, whether information present in the heterogeneity of tumor regions in the pre-treatment PET scans of patients and in their gene mutation status can predict the efficacy of radiation therapy in their treatment. Apurva’s thesis project was done under Dr. Loew’s supervision.
