Cancer Imaging and Radiobiology Research Program

Co-Program Directors:
Keith D. Paulsen, PhD
Harold M. Swartz, MD

The goal of the Cancer Imaging and Radiobiology Research Program (CIR) is to foster a collaborative environment that promotes the incorporation of imaging, radiobiology, biophysics, and engineering approaches into the development and evaluation of new cancer diagnostic and treatment strategies.

Read the Focus (Winter 2009) article, "Looking for Cancer's Fingerprint," which explains how the program gives doctors the data they need in order to make the correct diagnosis and prescribe the best treatment plan.

The Cancer Imaging and Radiobiology Research Program continues to thrive as a multidisciplinary group of cancer researchers that includes faculty from Dartmouth Medical School, the Thayer School of Engineering, and the clinical departments of Medicine (Radiation Oncology), Surgery, and Radiology within Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC).
