About
Dr. Alexandra D. Jensen is a leading researcher in particle therapy and precision radiotherapy, with a focus on improving treatment accuracy for cancer patients. Her work centers on carbon ion therapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), and patient immobilization techniques. In her highly cited 2012 study, Dr. Jensen investigated the repositioning accuracy of two standard immobilization devices—Scotchcast masks versus thermoplastic head masks—in both 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) for particle therapy and 3 DOF for IMRT. This work, which has garnered 24 citations, provided critical insights into setup errors and the efficacy of immobilization systems, directly impacting clinical protocols for fractionated radiation therapy. By quantifying the precision of these devices, Dr. Jensen’s research has helped enhance the delivery of high-dose, targeted radiation while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Her contributions are foundational for advancing robotic-based carbon ion therapy, offering safer and more effective treatments for patients. Dr. Jensen’s work continues to influence the field of medical physics and radiation oncology.
