About
Giovanna Mantini is a leading researcher in radiation oncology, with a specialized focus on precision radiotherapy techniques for prostate cancer. Her work centers on adaptive optimization and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), particularly investigating the dosimetric impact of patient positioning errors. In her highly cited 2015 study, Mantini explored the use of a six degrees of freedom (DOF) robotic couch to correct both translational and rotational shifts during prostate volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT). This research demonstrated how advanced rototranslational adjustments can significantly improve treatment accuracy, reducing unintended radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. With 23 citations, this paper has become a key reference for clinicians implementing robotic patient positioning systems. Mantini’s contributions are vital to advancing safer, more effective cancer treatments, and her work continues to influence modern radiotherapy protocols for prostate cancer patients.
