About
Letitia Lee is a leading authority in the field of stereotactic radiosurgery, with a particular focus on precision and quality assurance for spinal treatments. Her foundational work, "Effects of residual target motion for image‐tracked spine radiosurgery," established a critical quality assurance method for hypofractionated spine radiosurgery using the CyberKnife system. In this highly cited study (55 citations), Lee developed a novel approach to measure residual target motion—the subtle movement between successive image-guided corrections—by leveraging on-line dual x-ray imagers. This contribution directly addressed a major clinical challenge, quantifying the real-world impact of patient motion on treatment accuracy and providing a framework to ensure safe, effective dose delivery. Her research has been instrumental in advancing the safety protocols and technical standards for image-guided radiotherapy, making her work essential reading for medical physicists and radiation oncologists. Lee’s meticulous investigation of motion management remains a cornerstone reference for practitioners seeking to optimize stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for spinal metastases.
