About
Ian Poon is a leading researcher in radiation oncology, with a primary focus on image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) for head and neck cancers. His work centers on improving the precision of treatment delivery by evaluating rotational and translational corrections in standard-fractionation protocols. In his highly cited 2019 study, Poon compared cone beam computed tomography registration approaches to assess positional accuracy, demonstrating how modern linear accelerators equipped with robotic couches can correct for both translational (X, Y, Z) and rotational (α, β, γ) errors. This contribution is critical for minimizing treatment margins and reducing toxicity to surrounding healthy tissues. Although his most-cited paper has accumulated 3 citations, its impact lies in advancing clinical protocols for safer, more accurate radiotherapy. Poon’s research bridges the gap between technological innovation and practical clinical application, offering tangible improvements in patient outcomes. His work is particularly valuable for students and clinicians seeking to understand the nuances of IGRT, as it provides a clear framework for optimizing rotational corrections in head and neck cancer treatments.
