Utrecht, The Netherlands
Ellis Beld graduated in Biomedical Physics, a master track of
Biomedical Engineering, at the University of Twente, The Netherlands,
in 2014. She performed her master thesis research at the Department
of Radiotherapy of the University Medical Center Utrecht. Her thesis
work was focused on background field correction for phase-based
MRI. In June 2014, she started working as a PhD candidate at the
Department of Radiotherapy at University Medical Center Utrecht.
The main focus of her research is on the development of techniques/
methods for real-time MRI guidance of high dose rate (HDR)
brachytherapy. Her current research topic is real-time MR-guided
HDR brachytherapy source tracking to develop a method for real-time
verification of the treatment.
