About
Truus Reynders is a leading expert in radiation therapy physics, with a primary focus on precision patient positioning and motion management for stereotactic radiosurgery. Her work has been instrumental in advancing frameless radiosurgery, demonstrating that sub-millimeter geometric accuracy is achievable without invasive head frames. Her most influential contributions include the clinical evaluation of the Novalis ExacTrac 6-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) system and robotic treatment couches, showing that 6DOF correction significantly improves setup accuracy over traditional 4DOF methods for intracranial lesions. Her 2011 paper on a novel gimbals-based tumor tracking system, which has accumulated 164 citations, established a benchmark for real-time motion compensation in radiation therapy. Additionally, her research on secondary patient motion during automated couch repositioning in prostate cancer treatment has informed clinical protocols to minimize intrafraction errors. With multiple highly cited works from 2011, Reynders has helped shape modern standards for frameless radiosurgery, enabling safer, more precise treatments that reduce patient discomfort while maintaining exceptional accuracy.
