About

Alan Mayville is a leading figure in the field of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), with a focused expertise in treatment planning and patient immobilization for high-precision radiation oncology. His most notable contributions include pioneering work on spinal radiosurgery treatment planning, a paper that has garnered 35 citations and serves as a foundational resource for clinicians designing safe, effective dose distributions for spinal tumors. Mayville is also recognized for his critical investigation into cranial motion during CyberKnife radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia. His 2016 study, cited 20 times, systematically assessed the efficacy of thermoplastic masks in maintaining continuous immobilization—a paramount challenge given the steep dose gradients and high fractional doses characteristic of SRS. By quantifying the limits of cranial movement, this work directly enhanced the safety and accuracy of non-invasive frameless treatments. Mayville’s research bridges the gap between theoretical dosimetry and real-world clinical application, ensuring that the extreme precision required for radiosurgery is reliably achieved. His contributions remain essential reading for students and practitioners aiming to master the technical demands of modern SRS.
