Gabriele Belotti

About

Gabriele Belotti is a leading researcher in medical imaging, specializing in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for radiotherapy and particle therapy. His major contributions focus on extending the field-of-view (FOV) of CBCT systems, a critical challenge in in-room image guidance. Belotti pioneered methods using two complementary short scans with displaced centers of rotation, enabling robotic C-arm scanners to overcome motion obstructions and reconstruct larger anatomical regions without compromising image quality. His work has direct clinical impact, particularly at the Centro Nazionale di Adroterapia Oncologica (CNAO) in Pavia, Italy, where he led the design and commissioning of a new in-room imaging system for particle therapy—an upgraded version of the 2014 installation that enhances precision for cancer treatment. With papers accumulating citations (e.g., 5 and 4 citations for his 2023 and 2022 FOV extension studies), Belotti’s research is shaping the next generation of adaptive radiotherapy. His achievements bridge engineering innovation and clinical application, making him a key figure in advancing image-guided radiation therapy.
