About

J. Miranda Bautista is a radiation oncology researcher whose work centers on improving the precision and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), particularly for challenging sites like the lung, spine, and liver. Her most-cited study, published in 2011, provides a foundational analysis of patient setup accuracy and immobilization errors during SBRT delivery. In this work, she evaluated the use of a Body Fix system with dual vacuum immobilization combined with a robotic couch, demonstrating how these technologies can minimize geometric uncertainties. Though her citation count is modest, her contribution is significant for its practical, clinical focus—offering early, detailed data on error margins that directly informs treatment planning and quality assurance protocols. Bautista’s work underscores the critical role of immobilization and real-time correction in achieving the high-dose, conformal radiation required for SBRT. Her research serves as a valuable reference for clinicians and physicists seeking to reduce interfraction motion and improve tumor targeting, highlighting her dedication to advancing the technical rigor of modern radiation therapy.
