About
Andrew Pullar is a leading clinical researcher in radiation oncology, with a focused expertise in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for spinal and paraspinal tumours. His seminal 2015 work, cited 26 times, provides a rigorous analysis of inter- and intra-fraction motion during spinal SBRT, using cone-beam CT and six-degree-of-freedom positional corrections. This study was pivotal in quantifying the dosimetric impact of even minor positioning errors on critical neural structures, directly informing safer and more precise treatment protocols. Pullar’s contributions have helped establish best-practice guidelines for managing target motion in high-dose, high-precision radiotherapy, enhancing both tumour control and the sparing of adjacent healthy tissue. His research bridges the gap between advanced imaging technology and clinical application, making him a respected authority in the field. For students and researchers, Pullar’s work exemplifies how meticulous analysis of treatment delivery uncertainties can translate into tangible improvements in patient safety and treatment efficacy, underscoring the importance of quality assurance in modern radiation oncology.
