About
David A. Jaffray is a pioneering biomedical engineer and radiation oncologist whose career has fundamentally shaped the field of image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). Best known for his landmark 2007 review "Advances in Image-Guided Radiation Therapy" — which has garnered over 415 citations — Jaffray has been instrumental in establishing imaging as a cornerstone of modern radiation oncology, particularly through his seminal contributions to cone-beam CT (CBCT) technology. His work demonstrated how real-time volumetric imaging could dramatically improve treatment precision by accurately localizing tumors and protecting surrounding healthy tissue. Beyond IGRT, Jaffray has broadened his research into tumor microenvironments, exploring how interstitial fluid pressure and microcirculation influence liposome-based drug delivery in solid tumors. His innovations also extend to robotic systems for small animal interventions, image-guided surgical suites, and MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy. A 2023 personal perspective on CBCT development reflects his two-decade influence on clinical practice worldwide. Jaffray's interdisciplinary vision — spanning engineering, oncology, and nanotechnology — has made him one of the most consequential figures in precision cancer treatment.
