Kristy K. Brock PhD

Kristy Brock is a Professor with tenure in the Department of Imaging Physics at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where she is the Executive Director of the Image-Guided Cancer Therapy Research Program. Her research has focused on image-guided therapy, where she has developed a biomechanical model-based deformable image registration algorithm to integrate imaging into treatment planning, delivery, and response assessment as well as to understand and validate imaging signals through correlative pathology. Her algorithm, Morfeus, was licensed by RaySearch Laboratories and was incorporated into their commercially available radiation therapy treatment planning system. She is board certified by the American Board of Radiology in Therapeutic Medical Physics. Dr. Brock has published over 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals and is the Editor of the book ‘Image Processing in Radiation Therapy.
