Jessie Huang-Vredevoogd, PhD

Clinical Assistant Professor

Department of Human Oncology

2017 Physics Residency Alumna

I was also an assistant professor in the Department of Human Oncology with clinical, research and teaching duties. In the clinic, I am involved in brachytherapy treatments, TSET and TBI treatments, improvements to CT simulation imaging for treatment planning, commissioning and validation of new beam models for our treatment planning system, and Tomotherapy quality assurance.

My research focuses on the role of dual-energy CT in radiation oncology imaging, including the use of dual-energy CT to improve tumor delineation for pancreatic and liver tumors.

I am the mentor of the medical physics residency Special Procedures rotation, which is focused on TSET and TBI, and teach a graduate level brachytherapy course in the Department of Medical physics.
