About
Farkhad Manapov is a leading figure in precision radiotherapy, with his research fundamentally advancing the accuracy of tumor targeting in stereotactic treatments. His work centers on two critical challenges: mitigating motion-induced errors and validating advanced image-guidance technologies. A key contribution is his investigation into prostate motion during radiotherapy, where his 2017 study (18 citations) demonstrated that pressure from a perineal ultrasound probe causes both prefraction displacement and intrafraction drift of the prostate. This finding is essential for clinicians to avoid systematic targeting errors. Manapov also spearheaded a cross-modality pilot study (16 citations) that integrated stereoscopic X-ray imaging with cone-beam CT (CBCT) for automatic couch positioning in stereotactic radiotherapy of intracranial tumors. By comparing positioning errors from these modalities, his work established a robust framework for sub-millimeter accuracy, directly improving treatment precision and patient safety. Through these contributions, Manapov has provided the radiotherapy community with critical data on motion management and image guidance, helping to refine protocols that minimize damage to healthy tissue while maximizing dose to the tumor. His research remains a cornerstone for physicists and clinicians striving for ever-greater accuracy in modern radiation oncology.
