About Tom Hrinivich

Primary Academic Title

Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology and Molecular Radiation Sciences

Background

Dr. Hrinivich is a Medical Physicist in the Department of Radiation Oncology and Molecular Radiation Sciences who specializes in proton radiotherapy and treatment planning at the Johns Hopkins Proton Therapy Center in Washington DC.

Dr. Hrinivich completed his PhD in Medical Biophysics at Western University in London ON, Canada, followed by a residency in clinical medical physics at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore MD, where he investigated image-guidance for prostate and cervical cancer radiotherapy.

Dr. Hrinivich's research focuses on image-guided radiotherapy and treatment plan optimization, making use of on-treatment images to guide radiation and reduce side effects for cancer patients.
