About

James Fan is a leading medical physicist whose research focuses on advancing stereotactic radiosurgery and radiotherapy (SRS/SBRT), particularly for hepatic and cranial lesions. His most cited work investigates the dosimetric and delivery efficiency of the CyberKnife M6 system equipped with a multileaf collimator (MLC), demonstrating how this innovation extends the platform’s capability from high-precision radiosurgery to conventionally fractionated radiotherapy. By systematically comparing MLC-based and iris-based planning for liver tumors, Fan’s research provides critical evidence that MLC-equipped robotic systems can achieve comparable or superior target coverage while reducing treatment time—a key factor in patient comfort and clinical throughput. With 11 citations, this study has informed clinical adoption of hybrid radiosurgery-radiotherapy systems. Fan’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between advanced treatment delivery technologies and practical clinical implementation, helping to standardize MLC-based planning for complex abdominal targets. His work continues to shape how radiation oncology teams optimize dose conformity and delivery efficiency in modern stereotactic treatments.
