Books By Jerry (Medical Biophysics Department, University of Western Ontario, Canada) Battista - Author

Dr. Jerry Battista completed his Ph.D. degree at the University of Toronto in 1977 (Compton Tomography). As a post-doctoral resident in medical physics he then gained clinical physics experience at the Princess Margaret Hospital, under the guidance of Dr.“Jack” Cunningham – a pioneer in computerized dose calculations. Jerry moved to the Cross Cancer Institute and University of Alberta in 1979. His team developed one of the first “3D” treatment planning systems and introduced a new breed of ‘convolution/superposition’ algorithms used for planning radiotherapy of cancer patients. Current research interests include 3D dose measurements in gels using optical CT scans, and adaptive dose re-optimization for image-guided radiotherapy. He has published over 120 peer-reviewed articles. Jerry is a Fellow of the Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine (FCCPM), Canadian Organization of Medical Physics (FCOMP) and American Association of Physicists in Medicine (FAAPM). Since 1988, Dr. Battista has been driving Physi
