About
Johannes P. A. Marijnissen is a leading figure in the advancement of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), with a particular focus on integrating sophisticated imaging systems to enhance treatment precision. His key research areas include real-time image guidance, motion management, and the clinical application of robotic radiosurgery for complex anatomical sites. Marijnissen’s major contribution is the pioneering integration of a sliding-gantry CT-on-rails with the CyberKnife robotic linear accelerator, a system he described in a highly influential 2017 paper (33 citations). This work demonstrated a novel solution for high-quality, intra-fraction imaging, enabling more accurate target localization and dose delivery for moving tumors, such as those in the pancreas. By combining the CyberKnife’s robotic flexibility with a dedicated CT scanner, his research directly addressed critical challenges in SBRT, improving the safety and efficacy of treatments for abdominal malignancies. His work represents a significant step forward in adaptive radiotherapy, providing a technical foundation for more precise, real-time adaptive treatments that minimize damage to healthy tissue.
