About
Charlotte Kristiansen is a leading medical physicist whose work has advanced the precision and efficiency of stereotactic radiotherapy. Her primary research focuses on the clinical implementation of flattening filter free (FFF) beams and robotic patient positioning systems to improve treatment delivery for brain and lung cancers. Kristiansen’s most cited work demonstrates how FFF high-dose-rate beams dramatically reduce treatment times while maintaining dosimetric accuracy, a critical advancement for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). She also pioneered the use of the HexaPOD robotic treatment table to correct rotational setup errors in brain SRS, enabling sub-millimeter targeting precision. These contributions, detailed in her 2016 publication (8 citations), have directly influenced modern clinical protocols, allowing for faster, more accurate treatments that improve patient comfort and throughput. By integrating FFF technology with robotic correction, Kristiansen has helped set a new standard for efficient, non-invasive cancer therapy. Her work remains a key reference for centers adopting high-precision stereotactic techniques, underscoring her impact on the intersection of engineering and oncology.
