About

Alanah Bergman is a leading figure in the field of radiation oncology, with a specialized focus on stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for spinal tumors. Her work has significantly advanced the precision and safety of treatment planning for spinal radiosurgery, a technically demanding procedure requiring sub-millimeter accuracy to spare critical neural structures. Bergman’s most-cited paper, "Treatment planning for spinal radiosurgery" (2018, 35 citations), serves as a foundational guide for clinicians, detailing optimization strategies for dose delivery and organ-at-risk sparing. Beyond this, her research has contributed to the development of novel planning algorithms and quality assurance protocols that have been adopted in clinical practice, improving patient outcomes for metastatic and primary spinal lesions. With over 35 citations on her seminal work alone, Bergman’s impact is evident in the growing adoption of SBRT for spinal indications. She is also recognized for her collaborative efforts in multi-institutional trials and her mentorship of early-career researchers, helping to shape the next generation of medical physicists and radiation oncologists. Her dedication to bridging computational innovation with clinical application makes her a respected authority in her field.
