Peng Jin
Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Peng Jin obtained his MSc in Electrical Engineering in 2013 at the
University of Twente, The Netherlands. In his final project, he designed
and manufactured a deformable and MRI-compatible prostate
phantom. In addition, he developed a real-time automatic approach
based on the active appearance model to segment the prostate during
the MRI-guided prostate biopsy procedure, in collaboration with the
Radboud University Medical Center, The Netherlands.
Since the autumn of 2013, Peng Jin started working as a PhD student
at the Department of Radiation Oncology of the Academic Medical
Center, The Netherlands. His research focuses on the geometrical
uncertainties in the image-guided esophageal cancer radiotherapy and
aims to improve the accuracy of radiotherapy for esophageal cancer.
This project is sponsored by Elekta.
Peng Jin’s project started with the feasible implantation of fiducial
markers around the esophageal tumour to mark the borders of
the primary tumour in the craniocaudal direction. With the clear
identification of the fiducial markers in the CT and cone-beam CT,
interfractional position variation and respiration-induced tumour
motion were quantified to help with creating a direction- and region-
specific margin recipe. He has successfully published the majority of his
work in
Radiotherapy and Oncolog
y and presented his work at ESTRO
and SPIE Medical Imaging conferences.
Peng Jin expects to finish his PhD project at the end of 2017. After
obtaining his PhD, he hopes to continue working in the research field of
image-guided radiotherapy.
