What we study
The Maloney Lab does medical physics research in radiation oncology. A recent student project printed PLA and resin cylinders, irradiated them with electrons, and compared their dose curves to water; its papers cover MR-linac quality assurance and detectors.

On Dosimetric Water Equivalency of 3D Printed Materials
The lab measured how well PLA and a 3D‑printing resin mimic water for radiation dose testing. The student printed cylinders, irradiated them with 6 MeV electrons, and compared dose curves, finding differences of 2.26 % for PLA and –0.87 % for resin.
