About

J. Overgaard is a leading figure in medical physics, whose research centers on advancing radiation therapy through innovative detector technologies and precise dosimetry. His major contributions lie in the development and characterization of real-time, in vivo dosimetry systems for brachytherapy, a critical area for ensuring treatment accuracy and patient safety. Overgaard’s most cited work introduces a high-Z inorganic scintillator-based detector designed for time-resolved dosimetry during high-dose-rate (HDR) and pulsed-dose-rate (PDR) brachytherapy. This study provides a comprehensive uncertainty budget and demonstrates the detector’s capability for independent treatment verification, enabling the detection of delivery errors in real time. With 25 citations since 2021, this paper has quickly become a foundational reference for researchers and clinicians seeking robust, fiber-coupled solutions for quality assurance in brachytherapy. Overgaard’s work directly addresses the clinical need for enhanced monitoring, bridging the gap between advanced detector physics and practical radiotherapy applications. His research continues to shape the field of in vivo dosimetry, offering tangible improvements in treatment safety and efficacy for cancer patients.
