3. Medical imaging and radiotherapy with Tom Whyntie

Series
Maths + Cancer
Audio Embed
Vicky Neale sits down with Tom Whyntie to look at how mathematics is being used in medical imaging to optimise cancer care, and the ‘epic amounts of data’ behind the technology.
In the third episode of the series, Vicky talks to Dr Tom Whyntie, Teaching Fellow in the Department of Oncology and Director of Studies for the MSc Radiation Biology at the University of Oxford.

Here, they explore Dr Whyntie’s career – from his work as a particle physicist on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, to using medical imaging to improve cancer treatments. They discuss how mathematics is being used to optimise cancer care, and how to make sense of the ‘epic amounts of data’ behind the technology.
