About

Youngyih Han has made significant contributions to the advancement of radiation oncology, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. Her work centers on improving the safety and precision of cancer care through medical physics. She led a landmark 2014 survey on the state of medical physics in cancer care across the Asia Pacific, a highly cited study (21 citations) that provided crucial data for regional healthcare planning. Han has also pioneered practical solutions for treatment delivery, including a high-precision quality assurance method for robotic couches with six degrees of freedom (12 citations), which is vital for accurate patient positioning. Notably, she developed a virtual simulator to prevent collisions between the patient and the nozzle in proton therapy (10 citations), a critical safety innovation that addresses the unique geometric challenges of this advanced treatment. Through these contributions, Han has enhanced both the quality and safety of radiotherapy, demonstrating a clear impact on clinical practice and patient outcomes.
