About
Stefano Tomatis is a leading figure in the field of radiation oncology, with a primary focus on image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and the precision of treatment delivery. His work is centered on optimizing patient setup and motion management to enhance the accuracy of cancer treatments. Tomatis’s most cited study, an analysis of 2,945 treatment fractions, critically evaluated the necessity of pitch and roll compensations provided by 6D robotic couches. By demonstrating that these rotational corrections are not universally required across all pathologies, he provided crucial data for clinical decision-making, helping to streamline workflows and reduce unnecessary treatment time. This landmark paper has garnered 16 citations, underscoring its influence in the field. Beyond this, Tomatis has contributed to the broader implementation of advanced IGRT technologies, including cone-beam CT, and has been instrumental in developing protocols that balance precision with efficiency. His work is essential reading for medical physicists and radiation oncologists seeking to refine the geometric accuracy of radiotherapy, ensuring that the highest standard of care is delivered to each patient.
