About

Sohyun Ahn is a dedicated medical physicist whose research focuses on advancing quality assurance (QA) methodologies in radiation therapy, particularly for robotic intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) systems. Her key contributions center on developing practical, cost-effective tools to enhance the accuracy and reliability of cancer treatments. In her most cited work, a 2016 feasibility study, Ahn pioneered the use of a custom-made film, fabricated from Gafchromic EBT3 film using a laser cutting tool, for end-to-end (E2E) QA testing. This innovation addresses a critical need in clinical settings by providing a tailored solution that ensures precise dose delivery in robotic IMRT, a complex treatment modality. With 4 citations, this study has laid groundwork for more accessible QA protocols, demonstrating her commitment to bridging engineering and clinical practice. Ahn’s work is notable for its practical impact, offering a replicable method that can be adopted by radiotherapy centers to improve patient safety and treatment outcomes. Her research underscores the importance of meticulous verification in advanced radiation techniques, making her a valuable contributor to the field of medical physics.
