About
Dante P. I. Capaldi is a medical physicist and researcher specializing in advanced radiation oncology techniques, with a focus on motion management and image-guided radiotherapy. His work addresses critical challenges in treating thoracic and upper-abdominal tumors affected by respiratory motion. Capaldi’s major contributions include developing a robotically assisted 3D-printed quality assurance lung phantom for the Calypso system, which improves the accuracy of real-time tumor tracking during treatment. This innovation, published in 2021 with 4 citations, helps reduce the need for large safety margins, enabling safer dose escalation. He also pioneered a fiducial-free, deep learning-based approach for spinal stereotactic radiosurgery (2020, 2 citations), eliminating the need for invasive implanted markers. By leveraging artificial intelligence, Capaldi enhances the precision of image guidance, potentially reducing patient discomfort and procedural risks. His work bridges engineering, AI, and clinical physics, offering practical solutions for more effective and less invasive cancer treatments. Capaldi’s research is particularly impactful for students and clinicians interested in the intersection of robotics, deep learning, and radiation therapy quality assurance.
