• Wrote software in C++/MatLab that was used to extract four-dimensional lung-tumor data from inoperable patients. This data was used by medical physicists at UMMC to determine if there existed space-time points that would allow an increase in dosage distribution to improve the probability of tumor eradication during irradiation without hitting a vital organ. The data I extracted proved that most patients lung-tumors were too close to the heart during all phases of breathing. The machinery available at the time would not be able to increase the dosage for the minute time-window available without having, on average, a 29% chance of hitting the heart. My research advisors were looking for figures closer to 5%.
