About
Dante Amelio is a leading figure in particle radiation therapy, with a focused expertise in treatment accuracy and patient immobilization for head-and-neck, brain, and skull base tumors. His seminal 2013 study, cited 16 times, provides a rigorous analysis of inter- and intrafraction accuracy using a commercial thermoplastic mask system combined with image guidance at a particle therapy center. This work established critical benchmarks for minimizing treatment errors, directly enhancing the precision of proton and carbon ion therapy. Amelio’s contributions have helped define best practices for immobilization in high-precision radiotherapy, improving clinical outcomes by reducing margins and sparing healthy tissue. His research bridges engineering and oncology, offering practical solutions for daily clinical workflows. Through this influential study and related work, Amelio has shaped how radiation oncologists and medical physicists approach patient setup and motion management, making him a respected authority in the field of image-guided particle therapy.
