معرفی
Hui Zhao, PhD, DABR, is a Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Utah and a medical physicist at Huntsman Cancer Hospital. She specializes in advanced radiation therapy techniques including image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and high/low-dose-rate brachytherapy. Dr. Zhao is an active member of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM).
Education History:
- Postdoctoral Fellowship: University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health
- Residency: Washington University in St. Louis
- PhD in Medical Physics: University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health
- MS: University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health
- BS in Modern Physics: University of Science and Technology of China
Her research focuses on optimizing precision radiation delivery through technologies like surface imaging, CT-on-Rails, kV/MV cone-beam CT, ultrasound guidance, and motion management systems. She investigates clinical applications in breast, prostate, gynecologic, and thoracic cancers with emphasis on adaptive therapy and treatment accuracy.
Recent publications (2019-2024) demonstrate strong focus on surface-guided radiotherapy validation, brachytherapy innovation, and treatment workflow optimization. Dominant themes include SGRT clinical implementation, proton therapy alignment, HDR brachytherapy commissioning, and motion management strategies, reflecting her leadership in advancing precision radiotherapy techniques.
Dr. Zhao leads quality assurance initiatives and technology validation projects at Huntsman Cancer Hospital, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to enhance treatment safety and efficacy. Her work integrates novel biometric systems and AI-driven workflows to prevent treatment deviations.
