Biography
Dr. Eric Vandervoort is a medical physicist at The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Center where he is physics lead for the CNS clinical practice group. He is also an adjunct research professor with the Department of Physics at Carleton University and assistant professor with the Department of Radiology at the University of Ottawa. His research is primarily focused on stereotactic ablative radiosurgery. He is particularly interested in characterizing the clinical and technical trade-offs between dedicated radiosurgical platforms, such as the CyberKnife system, and more widely available conventional linacs. His research interests also include Monte-Carlo modeling the response of radiation dose detectors in the complex clinical fields used for radiosurgery. He has also published on the impact of motion tracking and radiotherapy delivery errors for the CyberKnife radiosurgery system, developing and characterizing deformable phantoms for surgical and dosimetric applications, as well as the design of 3D printed phantoms for evaluating geometric distortion in MRI-based radiosurgical planning.
