About

G. Baroni is a leading figure in medical physics and particle therapy, specializing in image-guided radiotherapy, patient positioning, and motion management. His major contributions center on developing and validating integrated systems for precision setup verification and tumor tracking in particle therapy, particularly at the Centro Nazionale di Adroterapia Oncologica (CNAO). Baroni’s work on combining in-room X-ray imaging with optical tracking and robotic patient handling has significantly improved the accuracy of dose delivery for moving targets, such as in hypofractionated and oligometastatic cancer treatments. His most cited paper (39 citations) details the commissioning of a patient positioning system for particle therapy, while his studies on correlation models for tumor tracking (20 citations) and intra-fraction setup variability (18 citations) have advanced real-time motion compensation. Baroni has also contributed to medical robotics and functional rehabilitation engineering, reflecting a broader impact on computer-aided therapy. With over 200 cumulative citations across his top papers, his research is essential for clinicians and physicists seeking to enhance geometric precision in proton and ion beam therapy, directly improving treatment outcomes for cancer patients.
