Tim Olding

Dr. Tim Olding is an Assistant Professor and Affiliated Adjunct Faculty in Medical Physics at Queen's University, affiliated with the School of Medicine-Oncology and the Department of Oncology - Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario (CCSEO). His roles include Medical Physicist in Radiation Oncology and academic leadership in clinical and research areas. He holds a PhD and specializes in advanced radiation therapy techniques, including HDR brachytherapy, image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), and 3D dosimetry.

Dr. Olding's research focuses on optimizing treatment delivery through clinical implementation of 3D dosimetry techniques, quality assurance processes, and advancements in brachytherapy. He explores novel approaches such as automated catheter tracking using AI, deep learning for image analysis, and scatter correction methodologies in medical imaging.

His publications span over two decades, emphasizing innovations in dosimetry validation, brachytherapy optimization, and radiation therapy QA. Notable trends include the integration of AI into treatment planning, cardiac dose analysis in breast cancer, and anthropomorphic phantom-based validation of stereotactic treatments. While no awards are explicitly listed, his work contributes to standardizing clinical practices in radiation oncology.

Dr. Olding collaborates with interdisciplinary teams across Queen's University and the Kingston Health Sciences Centre. His lab work involves developing open-source tools for gel dosimetry analysis and improving patient-specific treatment protocols through innovative imaging and computational methods.
