Cancer Imaging & Radiobiology

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.

Radiation Research Aims to Improve Disaster Response

Researchers at Dartmouth-Hitchcock have been working to perfect an easy-to-use, reasonably portable dosimeter to detect levels of radiation in teeth and nails in the event of a nuclear disaster.

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