Assistant Professor

Biography

Dr. Hadley graduated from the University of Chicago Graduate Program in Medical Physics in 2002 after completing his dissertation titled Video-Based Patient Positioning for External Beam Radiation Therapy. Soon after, he started as the inaugural medical physics resident at the University of Michigan Department of Radiation Oncology.

As an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan, Dr. Hadley splits his time between clinical care, research, and teaching. His clinical service focuses on image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) with a special focus on abdominal tumors in the liver and pancreas. Dr. Hadley also leads the stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) team.

Clinical Service

Research Interests

Dr. Hadley has diverse research interests. A major focus has been on the impact of internal organ motion on the accuracy of prostate intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) treatments. Another interest is the impact and use of treatment control systems (TCS) on patient safety. In this area, Dr. Hadley studied the trade-off between human users and computer controlled automatic checks to assure safe and accurate radiotherapy treatments.

Teaching

Teaching activity centers on the Medical Physics Residency program. Dr. Hadley mentors physics residents on clinical rotations center, on special procedures, as well as routine radiotherapy needs. He also spends time on lectures, particle interaction, and X-Ray production for the radiation therapy technologist (RTT) program from the University of Michigan - Flint campus.
