The Small Animal Radiation

Research Platform (SARRP) is located in Volker Hall and is specifically designed to mimic clinical human radiation therapy procedures and treatment plans on a smaller scale, allowing researchers to precisely target and treat their animal models with radiotherapy.

The SARRP is equipped with cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging capabilities, allowing accurate image-guided targeting of the radiation beam to specific areas of interest within the animal’s body. Based on the imaging data and experimental model, an individual treatment plan can be created using the MuriPlan software. Optimal dosing can be determined, by providing relevant and translatable dosimetry data.
