Julian R. Perks

Clinical/Research Interests

Dr. Perks is a physicist whose clinical interests include stereotactic radiotherapy as well as radiosurgery planning and treatment delivery. In particular, he has been focusing on the commissioning and clinical integration of a new gamma-knife system for the treatment of intra-cranial lesions. He also is working to expand the department's intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) capabilities. Dr. Perks's research activities include the comparison of linear accelerator and gamma knife-based radiosurgery procedures; optimizing imaging protocols for neuro-oncology radiotherapy; and the retrospective analysis of arterio-venous malformation radiosurgery to develop a predictive outcome model for UC Davis data. As a researcher, he does not see patients.
