About
Steven Babic is a leading medical physicist whose research centers on precision and safety in stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and radiotherapy. His most cited work, “To frame or not to frame?” (2018, 62 citations), provides a pivotal cone-beam CT-based analysis of head immobilization devices for linac-based SRS. By rigorously comparing frameless systems to traditional frames, Babic quantified head positioning reproducibility and intrafractional motion, offering critical guidance for clinics transitioning to noninvasive immobilization. This contribution directly impacts treatment accuracy, helping to ensure that frameless SRS can be performed safely without compromising dose delivery. Beyond this landmark study, Babic’s broader research advances quality assurance and image-guided techniques in radiation oncology. His work is widely referenced by physicists and clinicians seeking evidence-based protocols for frameless SRS, reflecting his role in shaping modern practice. With a focus on practical, patient-centered solutions, Babic continues to influence how stereotactic treatments are planned and delivered, making him a key figure in the evolution of precise, noninvasive radiotherapy.
