About
B Yi is a leading researcher in proton therapy, with a specialized focus on optimizing treatment planning for head and neck (HN) cancers. Their key research areas include pencil-beam scanning proton therapy, noncoplanar plan robustness, and inter-fractional variation management. Yi’s most notable contribution is their 2023 study investigating whether noncoplanar plans (NCPs) are more resilient to inter-fractional anatomical changes than coplanar plans when treating bilateral HN tumors. This work, which has garnered 3 citations, addresses a critical clinical challenge: while NCPs are standard for bilateral HN malignancies, they require additional verification imaging between beams to correct robotic couch motion errors, increasing imaging dose and treatment time. Yi’s research provides valuable insights into balancing plan robustness with practical treatment efficiency, directly impacting clinical decision-making for proton therapy centers. Their work is particularly significant for researchers and clinicians seeking to improve treatment accuracy while minimizing patient exposure and procedural complexity. Yi continues to advance the field of radiation oncology through methodical investigations into proton beam delivery techniques.
