This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) aims to develop a novel, comprehensive Quality Assurance (QA) device called the Retriever™ to improve the allocation of scarce medical physics resources and increase access to advanced radiation therapy (RT) treatments in underserved regions.

The $1,063,155 award to Wild Dog Physics LLC will fund the development and clinical testing of the Retriever device over a 2-year period beginning September 1, 2024. The project seeks to create a more precise, efficient, and comprehensive QA solution than currently available to enable the safe delivery of advanced RT techniques like Stereotactic Body RT (SBRT) in rural, underserved areas that face shortages of qualified medical physicists. The goal is to help bring state-of-the-art RT treatments to patient populations that otherwise may not have access.
