Dr. McNutt is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology and Molecular Radiation Sciences specializing in Medical Physics. His primary clinical interest is in adaptive and image-guided radiotherapy to enable tailoring of intensity-modulated treatments to individual patients through image-based monitoring of the course of therapy.

Dr. McNutt completed his formal education in Medical Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with emphasis on dose computation methods. He continued his work in radiation dosimetry and intensity modulated radiotherapy as Director of Research at Philips Radiation Oncology Systems for the development of the Pinnacle3 Treatment Planning System.

He joined the Johns Hopkins team in 2005 to further explore his research interests in the characterization of the anatomical deformations in soft tissue over the course of treatment, and to participate in the creation of a small animal therapy device to study biological endpoints of localized radiation therapy treatments.
