About
Dr. Geordi Pang is a leading expert in medical physics and radiation oncology, with a focused research portfolio in image-guided radiotherapy and patient immobilization techniques. His work addresses critical challenges in the precision of brain radiotherapy, particularly the limitations of thermoplastic masks used for patient positioning. In his highly cited 2012 study, which has garnered 25 citations, Pang conducted a rigorous cone-beam CT evaluation of inter- and intra-fraction motion in patients undergoing brain IMRT while immobilized with commercial thermoplastic masks on a robotic couch. This research revealed that masks cannot perfectly reorient patients due to factors like facial pressure limits and mask deformation, providing essential data for improving treatment accuracy. Pang’s contributions have helped clinicians better understand and mitigate motion errors, directly enhancing the safety and efficacy of stereotactic radiosurgery and fractionated radiotherapy. His work is foundational for researchers and students developing next-generation immobilization systems and adaptive radiotherapy protocols, underscoring his impact on the intersection of imaging technology and clinical oncology.
