About
Gabriel Paiva Fonseca is a leading medical physicist whose research centers on advancing radiation therapy through innovative dosimetry and treatment verification techniques. His primary contributions lie in developing real-time in vivo dosimetry systems for brachytherapy, a critical area where commercial solutions remain scarce. Fonseca’s seminal work, "MO‐AB‐BRA‐03: Development of Novel Real Time in Vivo EPID Treatment Verification for Brachytherapy" (2016), introduced a groundbreaking approach using electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) to verify HDR brachytherapy doses during treatment—a method that promises to enhance patient safety and treatment accuracy. This work, cited 4 times, has laid the foundation for further research into integrating EPID technology into clinical workflows. Fonseca’s research addresses a pressing clinical need, as in vivo dose verification is vital for ensuring that prescribed doses are accurately delivered to tumors while sparing healthy tissues. His ongoing efforts continue to push the boundaries of real-time treatment monitoring, making him a notable figure in the field of radiation oncology physics. For students and researchers, Fonseca’s work exemplifies how targeted innovation can solve persistent challenges in cancer therapy.
