About

Eric Vandervoort is a medical physicist whose research sits at the intersection of robotic radiosurgery, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and advanced dosimetry. His work has focused primarily on improving the precision and safety of CyberKnife-based treatments, particularly for challenging moving targets such as liver lesions. A central theme throughout his career is the characterization and mitigation of geometric uncertainties in robotic radiosurgery — from quantifying tracking errors associated with the Synchrony respiratory tracking system to developing patient-specific planning target volume (PTV) margin strategies informed by machine learning algorithms. His contributions to dosimetry instrumentation are equally notable, including pioneering applications of radioluminescence and 4D RADPOS systems for small-field scatter factor measurements and quality assurance of complex motion-adaptive deliveries. Vandervoort has also advanced clinical practice by demonstrating the feasibility of platinum fiducial markers for MRI/CT fusion and real-time tumor tracking. Collectively, his publications have garnered dozens of citations, reflecting genuine impact in the radiotherapy physics community. His body of work equips clinicians with better tools to ensure that radiation is delivered accurately, safely, and adaptively — ultimately improving outcomes for patients undergoing stereotactic ablative radiotherapy.
