Biography:
Jason Dowling is a project leader and research computer scientist from the CSIRO Australian e-Health Research Centre at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Australia. Since 2007, he has worked closely with the Calvary Mater Newcastle Hospital on the development of methods for MRI-alone radiation treatment planning for prostate cancer. This work has included automatic pelvic organ contouring, generation of pseudo-CT data from MRI, and integration with commercial treatment planning systems.
