About
Andrew Wroe is a medical physicist whose research focuses on advancing proton therapy and radiosurgery, particularly through precision quality assurance (QA) methodologies. His work centers on the development and validation of end-to-end testing protocols for proton radiosurgery, ensuring the accurate delivery of high-dose radiation to small, intracranial targets. Wroe’s major contribution includes pioneering the use of the Lucy 3D QA phantom with GaFchromic film and custom collimator inserts to verify the geometric and dosimetric accuracy of proton beams in stereotactic radiosurgery. This approach, detailed in his highly cited 2014 study (3 citations), provides a practical framework for clinical implementation, reducing uncertainties in treatment delivery. Wroe’s research has directly impacted patient safety and treatment efficacy, establishing benchmarks for proton radiosurgery QA that are now adopted in multiple centers. His work is notable for bridging the gap between complex proton physics and routine clinical practice, making advanced radiotherapy more reliable and accessible.
