About

Marco Riboldi is a medical physicist whose research sits at the intersection of image-guided radiotherapy, particle therapy, and motion management — fields where precision directly determines patient outcomes. Working extensively within the framework of CNAO (Centro Nazionale di Adroterapia Oncologica), Riboldi has been instrumental in developing and validating integrated systems for patient positioning and setup verification in particle therapy, a domain where geometric uncertainties carry particularly high stakes due to the finite range of ion beams. His most cited work, garnering 39 citations, addressed the commissioning and quality assurance of such systems, establishing clinical benchmarks that have influenced centers worldwide. Riboldi has also advanced real-time tumor tracking using correlation models in scanned ion beam therapy, tackling the formidable challenge of delivering precise doses to moving targets. His comparative investigations between optical tracking systems and X-ray imaging have clarified the complementary strengths of each modality, informing best practices across hypofractionated treatment regimens. More recently, he has explored novel CBCT acquisition trajectories to reduce imaging artifacts. Collectively, his body of work — spanning commissioning, motion compensation, and imaging quality — reflects a sustained commitment to making particle therapy both clinically reliable and technically rigorous.
