Dr. Diane Schott

Diane Schott, PhD, is an assistant professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology of the UNMC College of Medicine and serves as director of the outreach education program. Her research has included imaging analysis for adaptive therapy using on-board imaging during RT during her time as postdoc and resident.

She is working to utilize her background in high-energy physics to streamline and innovate the data workflows for future longitudinal studies. Dr. Schott is working on standardizing MRI quality for radiomics projects. To adapt to the move from classroom-based teaching to online, she is collaborating with other members of faculty and residents to update and refresh the medical physics course for RTT students.
