About

R Teboh Forbang is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of medical imaging and radiation oncology, with a particular focus on integrating ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) for image-guided radiotherapy. His key contributions center on improving the precision and clinical viability of real-time tumor monitoring during treatment. In his most cited work, "Repeatability of Robotic Placement of Ultrasound Probes for an Integrated US-CT Approach to Image-Guided Radiotherapy" (2013), Forbang tackled a critical challenge: while ultrasound offers real-time imaging without ionizing radiation, standard US probes cause tissue deformation and CT artifacts that limit their use in radiotherapy workflows. By investigating robot-assisted placement of geometrically identical imaging and model probes, he demonstrated a path toward reproducible, non-disruptive probe positioning—a foundational step for hybrid US-CT guidance systems. Though his citation count is modest, this work represents an early, technically rigorous contribution to a niche but clinically important area. Forbang’s research underscores the value of engineering solutions in bridging imaging modalities, offering a glimpse into how robotics can enhance the safety and accuracy of cancer treatments.
