In this episode of the Smart Medicine Podcast, Dr. Ali Fatemi—clinical medical physicist, founder of SpinTecx, and entrepreneur—welcomes Dr. Shirin Abbasinejad Enger, Professor of Radiation Oncology at McGill University, Canada Research Chair, and Director of the Medical Physics Unit.
The conversation explores the foundations and future of radiation therapy, from patient-specific dose calculation and radiation detectors to emerging radiation sources, AI-driven modeling, and intelligent treatment delivery systems. Dr. Enger shares insights into how advanced computation, novel detectors, and personalized approaches are reshaping clinical decision-making and cancer care.
The episode also examines the evolving role of radiation therapy within multimodal cancer treatment, leadership at the intersection of research, education, and clinical practice, and what the next decade may hold for innovation—particularly for startups working in medical physics, AI, and smart healthcare.
A thoughtful discussion for clinicians, researchers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in the future of personalized cancer care and smart medicine.
Dr. Ali Fatemi sits down with Dr. James Robar — Senior Clinical Medical Physicist at Nova Scotia Health, Professor at Dalhousie University, and Chief Scientific Officer at Adaptiiv Medical Technologies.
They explore how Dr. Robar turned academic innovation into clinical reality — from 3D printing in radiation therapy to AI-driven precision imaging.
The conversation dives into entrepreneurship, translation of research into startups, and the future role of medical physicists in smart healthcare.

I’m excited to share the very first episode of Smart Medicine! 🎙️
In this podcast, I’ll be exploring the big questions at the intersection of physics, medicine, and technology — and how innovations like AI are reshaping healthcare.
As a clinical medical physicist, entrepreneur, and founder, I’ve seen firsthand how solutions that look great on paper don’t always translate into the clinic. That’s why this series is about asking the right questions, sparking deeper conversations, and highlighting ideas that truly make a difference for patients, clinicians, and innovators.
This is just the beginning — and I’d love for you to join me on the journey.
