About
Giovanni Fattori is a medical physicist whose research has significantly advanced the field of particle therapy, with a particular focus on image guidance, patient positioning, and motion management in ion beam treatments. Working primarily at CNAO (Centro Nazionale di Adroterapia Oncologica) in Italy, Fattori has made foundational contributions to the clinical implementation of image-guided particle therapy, addressing one of the discipline's most critical challenges: the sensitivity of ion beams to geometric uncertainties and patient setup errors. His most influential work, cited nearly 40 times, established commissioning and quality assurance protocols for integrated patient positioning systems — infrastructure essential to safe and precise particle therapy delivery. Alongside colleagues, he validated synergistic combinations of in-room X-ray imaging and optical tracking systems, demonstrating their complementary clinical value. Fattori also pioneered experimental investigations into real-time tumor tracking using correlation models in scanned ion beam therapy, tackling the complex problem of dose delivery to moving targets in the thoracic and abdominal regions. His continued productivity is evident in more recent contributions addressing cone-beam CT field-of-view limitations. Across his career, Fattori's work has directly shaped clinical workflows that make particle therapy safer and more precise for cancer patients worldwide.
