Alex is a researcher investigating ways to improve radiotherapy for patients through the use of artificial intelligence and state-of-the-art imaging. He has spent the past 5 years exploring how ultrasound scans can be used to guide prostate radiotherapy with greater precision so that patients need shorter treatments and experience fewer side-effects. Using data collected from volunteer patients, he has designed software that makes ultrasound scanning easier for radiotherapy staff, leading to more precise image guidance.
