About
Frederik Wenz is a leading figure in radiation oncology, with a focused expertise in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) for liver and other cancers. His major contributions center on advancing precision and treatment accuracy through innovative imaging integration. Notably, his work on liver SBRT (cited 21 times) established a direct correlation between planned radiation dose and post-therapeutic MRI-morphologic alterations, providing a novel, non-invasive method to validate in-vivo treatment accuracy. This breakthrough, demonstrated through active motion-compensated registration of plan dose to MRI findings, offers a powerful tool for quality assurance in treating moving liver tumors. Additionally, Wenz has pioneered path planning algorithms for low-kV X-ray free-form surface irradiation, addressing a critical limitation of conventional IORT applicators. By enabling conformal treatment of irregular surgical cavities, this work expands the therapeutic reach of intraoperative radiotherapy. His research, consistently integrating advanced imaging with treatment delivery, has significantly improved the safety and efficacy of modern radiotherapy, making him a key contributor to the field’s evolution toward personalized, image-guided cancer care.
