Yujing Zou, MSc student at Dr. Shirin A. Enger’s lab won the Young Investigators Competition at the Curietherapies conference taking place from May 20th – 22nd, 2022 in Montreal, Canada. Congratulations Yujing!! All the young investigators did an excellent job. Well done all!!
Curietherapies conference 2022 in Montreal gathered brachytherapy experts from all around the world presenting their research from May 20th – 22nd, 2022. The EngerLab was represented by our students Fabian Svahn (Ph.D. student), Yujing Zou (M.Sc. student), and Maude Robitaiile (incoming M.Sc. student) that presented their research through oral presentations as well as our faculty
Yujing Zou, M.Sc. student at the EngerLab, presented McMedHacks‘ team efforts from the Enger Lab at the McGill University – Medical Physics: “McMedHacks: Deep learning for medical image analysis workshops and Hackathon in radiation oncology”, at European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO), the largest European meeting on radiation oncology, in Copenhagen, Denmark last Saturday. #estro2022. The proffered paper presentation is
In this paper, we have replaced the time consuming Mone Carlo method for use in brachytherapy dose calculations with a 3-dimensional deep convolutional neural network model to provide fast and accurate dose estimations. The work by Ximeng Mao during his master’s studies at the Enger Lab and in collaboration with Dr. Joelle Pineau allows for dose simulations that are as accurate as the gold-standard Monte-Carlo methods but take much less time. A brief discription of the RapidBrachyDL has become the editor’s pick in ESTRO news letter. More
Congratulations Luca Weishaupt for his latest publication in the Brachytherapy Journal in collaboration with Dr. Christopher Deufel at the Mayo clinic. Luca’s paper titled: Approaching automated applicator digitization from a new angle: Using sagittal images to improve deep learning accuracy and robustness in high-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy can be accessed here. Engerlab is very proud of

Liam Carroll, PhD student at the EngerLab, was awarded 2nd place in the young investigator competition at the International Conference on Monte Carlo Techniques for Medical Applications #MCMA2022 in Antwerp, Belgium! Congratulations Liam, very well done!!!
Monte Carlo Techniques for Medical Application conference taking place in Antwerp, Belgium, #MCMA2022 came to an end on April 13th, 2022. Research at the EngerLab was presented through oral presentations given by Liam Carroll, Jonathan Kalinowski (Maryam Rahbaran), Youstina Daoud, Jingyi Bian, and Sachin Dev. They did an excellent job representing our lab. Congratulations all,

We want to wish you all Happy Holidays on behalf of everyone at the EngerLab. Thanks to the hard work and collaboration of the Enger Lab members, 2021 was very successful. Despite the challenges due to Covid 19 pandemic, the Enger Lab graduated 4 M.Sc. students (Alana Thibodeau-Antonacci, Alaina Bui, Ali Ali, Shingyu Peter Kim)

Marc defended successfully his Ph.D. thesis “Intensity Modulated Brachytherapy for the Treatment Of Cervical Cancer”.
By placing rotating radiation attenuating shields inside the tandem of the cervical applicators, Marc’s innovation ensure to produce directional dose distributions.
Dynamic shield cervix IMBT system holds great promise for
increasing the therapeutic ratio and making brachytherapy accessible to more patients.
Congratulates Dr. Marc Morcos! Read More »
