About
Annie Hsu is a medical physicist whose work centers on advancing radiation therapy techniques, particularly through image guidance and novel delivery methods. Her research has significantly impacted the treatment of prostate cancer and large-field irradiations. Her most cited work, "Investigation of Linac-Based Image-Guided Hypofractionated Prostate Radiotherapy" (2007), with 21 citations, established a foundation for precise, high-dose-per-fraction prostate treatments by integrating onboard imaging to reduce margins and improve targeting. This contribution helped shape modern hypofractionation protocols. Hsu also earned recognition with a "Featured Presentation and Best in Physics (Therapy)" award for her 2015 study on Trajectory Modulated Arc Therapy. This work pioneered the integration of coordinated robotic table motion with inversely-planned arc delivery, addressing critical limitations in treating extensive volumes like Total Body Irradiation and Cranial-Spinal Irradiation. By formulating this technique, she opened new avenues for treating large, complex targets with enhanced conformality and efficiency. Though her citation counts reflect a focused, specialized impact, her innovations in dynamic table motion and arc therapy represent a notable achievement in expanding the capabilities of modern linear accelerators.
