About
Samuel Ryu is a distinguished radiation oncologist and medical physicist whose research has significantly advanced the field of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), with a particular focus on spinal applications. His work has been instrumental in establishing rigorous technical standards for image-guided radiation therapy, helping to ensure precision and safety in treating complex cases involving the spine and other critical structures. Ryu's most cited contribution, a 2010 phantom study examining image-guided localization accuracy across stereoscopic and volumetric imaging methods, has garnered 51 citations and remains a foundational reference for clinicians implementing SRS and SBRT workflows. His 2012 clinical commissioning guidelines for the Novalis Tx linear accelerator (46 citations) provided the field with a practical roadmap for integrating advanced technology from acceptance testing through first clinical treatment. His 2018 work on treatment planning for spinal radiosurgery (35 citations) further cemented his expertise in this technically demanding subspecialty. Through his investigations into dual image-guided localization systems and cone beam CT-based positioning, Ryu has helped standardize protocols that directly improve patient outcomes, making his body of work an essential resource for radiation oncology professionals worldwide.
