About
Dr. Albert Fung is a leading figure in the field of medical physics, with a focused expertise in image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). His seminal work bridges the gap between diagnostic imaging and precise cancer treatment delivery. Dr. Fung is best known for pioneering the use of ultrasound for real-time guidance during intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). His 2006 paper, "Ultrasound-based guidance of intensity-modulated radiation therapy," with 38 citations, laid the foundation for a non-invasive method to track tumor motion and account for organ shifts during treatment, significantly improving targeting accuracy. This contribution has been instrumental in reducing radiation exposure to healthy tissues, enhancing patient outcomes in prostate and abdominal cancers. Dr. Fung’s research has been widely adopted in clinical protocols, and he is recognized for his role in advancing the safety and efficacy of modern radiotherapy. His work continues to inspire new generations of medical physicists to explore innovative solutions for real-time adaptive therapy.
