About
Dr. Michael Armour is a leading figure in preclinical radiation research, best known for his foundational work on the Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP). His primary research areas encompass small animal image-guided radiotherapy, dosimetric commissioning, and Monte Carlo validation for preclinical models. Dr. Armour’s major contribution is the development and rigorous validation of the SARRP system, which enables precise, focal delivery of kilo-voltage radiation to targets in small animals under robotic control and cone-beam CT guidance. His seminal 2009 paper, “A comprehensive system for dosimetric commissioning and Monte Carlo validation for the small animal radiation research platform,” has garnered 81 citations, serving as an essential reference for laboratories worldwide seeking to replicate or adapt this technology. This work provided the critical dosimetric framework that underpins the SARRP’s treatment planning capabilities, bridging the gap between clinical and preclinical radiotherapy. Through his efforts, Dr. Armour has empowered researchers to conduct more accurate, translatable studies in radiation oncology, making him a key enabler of modern preclinical radiation research.
