About
Toshiyuki Kidani is a leading figure in the development of advanced image-guided proton therapy systems. His primary research focuses on the integration of robotic technologies with cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging to enhance the precision and safety of proton beam delivery. In his seminal 2017 work, Kidani detailed the design and performance of a ceiling-mounted robotic C-arm CBCT system, a breakthrough that enables high-accuracy image guidance for proton therapy. This system, which interfaces with a 190° proton gantry and a 6-degree-of-freedom robotic patient positioner, has been cited over 40 times for its comprehensive evaluation of mechanical design, system accuracy, image quality, and workflow safety. By addressing critical factors such as imaging dose and alignment precision, Kidani’s contributions have directly improved the clinical viability of robotic CBCT in proton therapy, setting a new standard for non-invasive cancer treatment. His work remains essential reading for researchers and engineers developing next-generation radiotherapy platforms.
