John Clifton (medical physicist)

John Clifton is a medical physicist known for his work in radiation oncology and diagnostic imaging. His contributions span areas such as the development and implementation of advanced radiation therapy techniques, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). He has also researched and implemented methods for improving image quality and reducing radiation dose in diagnostic imaging modalities like X-ray, CT, and MRI.

Clifton's research often focuses on the development of algorithms and models to optimize treatment planning and delivery in radiation therapy, aiming to maximize tumor control while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. He has also investigated methods for quantitative imaging, extracting clinically relevant information from medical images to improve diagnosis and treatment monitoring. His publications appear in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings in the fields of medical physics and radiology. Clifton may also be involved in the training and education of medical residents and other healthcare professionals on the safe and effective use of radiation in medicine.
