After commencing his career in engineering, James made the move to medical imaging research at the University of Melbourne, completing a PhD in new techniques for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). With a desire to translate technological advances to improved clinical outcomes, Dr Korte has worked as a researcher at Peter Mac since 2018, his research interests include exploiting medical images to improve clinical decision making, radiation treatment delivery and developing personalised treatment positions. His work in medical imaging includes the early assessment of treatment response following kidney radiotherapy, moving beyond shape measures and using textural information when classifying tumours, and improving clinical efficiency using artificial intelligence (AI) to outline radiation-sensitive organs for treatment planning. James is currently developing a rotating radiation therapy (radiotherapy) chair to provide an upright treatment position for patients who struggle with lying down, which is the current clinical treatment position. The radiotherapy chair is being designed as a collaboration between the Department of Physical Sciences, the Radiation Mechanical Engineering Department and the Biomedical Engineering Department. The first patients will be imaged as part of a two-year clinical trial, supported by our lung cancer and head and neck clinicians. The project is funded by grants from the Peter MacCallum Foundation and the Cancer Council Victoria.
