Welcome to the RadOnc family of websites at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Please select from the following independent web sites

Web Site	Intended Audience	Purpose
	Patients and their familes, prospective faculty and staff	The official clinical web site includes departmental contact info, directions to our building, information for faculty, staff, patients and their families, and lists of our clinical programs, education opportunities and research activities. This site is run by the UNC Medical School.
DART	Dosimetry Teachers & students	The Dosimetry Auxiliary Remote Trainer helps teach practical knowledge of treatment planning to Dosimetry and Therapy students. This site is run by UNC Prof Robert Adams.
	Physicists, scientific programmers, medical image investigators	The PLanUNC Documentation project documents UNC's in-house radiotherapy treatment planning software developed since the mid-1980's. The goal is to distribute the software as a fully-featured national research platform. This site is run by UNC Prof Eric Schreiber.
	Physicists, scientific programmers, medical image investigators	The Computation Oncology Lab researches the technical software calculations of curative radiation dose on 3D & 4D images and builds novel hardware for imaging & treatment. More... Software topics: Monte Carlo dose calculation techniques on clustered computers automatic image registration image segmentation shape analysis the PLUNC software developed in our clinic. Our latest hardware innovations are based on CNT-FE: a desktop micro-RT treatment machine for small animals & pediatric brain treatments a micropixel beam array for Cancer Biology a static gantry-mounted array for 3D imaging during treatment Projects since 2008 have emphasized speed; some samples: mgrView (a fast Model Guided Renderer) Dose Calculations on GPUs an image interpolator (best in class) Morphormics, a spin-off company that produced a male pelvis segmentation tool for Accuray's CyberKnife robotic treatment planning system. This site is run by the COLab group under principal investigators Prof's Ed Chaney, Eric Schreiber and Julian Rosenman from UNC, in collaboration with Prof Sarang Joshi from Utah's SCI.
	Radiobiologists	Hypoxyprobe™-1 (pimonidazole hydrochloride) is a chemical whose use in detecting hypoxic cells was pioneered by UNC Prof. James Raleigh. This site includes instructions for acquisition and use of Hypoxyprobe™-1 and includes contact information and a bibliography.
