The EngerLab is happy to welcome our new undergraduate student, John Fiset! John is currently a third-year honours electrical engineering student at McGill University and will be joining our team to work on the development of a prototype rotation system for rectal Intensity Modulated Brachytherapy.

We are thrilled to announce the release of Jonathan Kalinowski’s first publication, “RapidBrachyTG43: A Geant4-based TG-43 parameter and dose calculation module for brachytherapy dosimetry” in Medical Physics! Congratulations Jonathan on this significant milestone, and we look forward to witnessing the continued impact of your research and future work in advancing cancer treatment.

As the year comes to a close, the Enger Lab extends heartfelt wishes for a joyful holiday season and a Happy New Year! Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to a new year filled with discovery and success!

The American Brachytherapy Annual Meeting took place in Vancouver, Canada, from June 22nd to 24th, serving as a platform for the latest advancements in the field. The EngerLab made a notable presence at the event, with our talented students, Melodie Cyr and Maryam Rahbaran, showcasing their research projects. Melodie presented her work on “A Feasibility

Congratulations to Sébastien for his presentation titled “High Precision Deep Learning-Based Dose Prediction in Brachytherapy” at the recent T-CAIREM Trainee Rounds Seminar held on June 21. These monthly seminars, known as the T-CAIREM 2023 Trainee Rounds, provide a platform to showcase innovative and exceptional research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and healthcare in Canada.

McMedHacks started in 2021 to address common challenges students and researchers experience when they apply deep learning-based approaches to analyze medical imaging. This prompted Dr. Enger’s team to organize a summer school to help kick-start research projects involving medical imaging analysis and deep learning. Our mission is to provide researchers new to the field with

Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from the EngerLab played an important role in launching the inaugural Sprint AI Training for African Medical Imaging Knowledge Translation (SPARK) program last June, in collaboration with McMedHacks and with the endorsement of the Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Interventions (MICCAI) Society. SPARK aims to cultivate a new generation

Jonathan Kalinowski and Dr. Shirin A. Enger are actively involved in a research project focused on streamlining the brachytherapy quality assurance auditing process. They are achieving this by leveraging the Monte Carlo-based treatment planning system, RapidBrachyMCTPS, developed by Dr. Enger’s research group. The project has been highly successful, leading to the initiation of several other
