Bio/Research

Dr. Wiersma's research is primarily focused on real-time image guided methods for improving the clinical outcome of radiation therapy with an emphasis on real-time organ motion tracking using on board LINAC MV and kV radiation imaging systems, molecular imaging and organ motion tracking techniques using iron oxided nano-particles, and electronic portal imaging devices for tracking. He has served as principal investigator on two extramural grants, the most recent being a project entitled "Dynamically adaptive kV aperture for lowdose realtime prostate motion tracking during radiation therapy by combined MV-kV imaging" funded by the Cancer Research Foundation (CRF).
