Research Focus
Dr. Amit Sawant's lab focuses on improving lung cancer radiotherapy by developing advanced motion management techniques that account for patients' breathing. They aim to enhance current treatment methods by creating a patient-specific model that captures the movement of tumors and nearby organs in real-time using advanced imaging technologies. By integrating this model into clinical practice, the goal is to deliver more precise radiation doses, minimizing harm to healthy tissues and improving patient outcomes.
