About
Dr. Hakan Oesten is a distinguished medical physicist whose research centers on advancing precision and safety in proton therapy, with a particular focus on image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and quality assurance (QA) for pencil beam scanning (PBS) systems. His most cited work, a 2019 study with 13 citations, introduces a novel semi-automated QA procedure using a cone-shaped scintillator screen detector (XRV-12) to streamline multiple verification tasks for proton PBS treatments. This innovation addresses a critical need for efficient, accurate IGRT QA, reducing manual intervention while enhancing dosimetric reliability. Dr. Oesten’s contributions are pivotal in bridging the gap between advanced treatment delivery and robust quality control, directly impacting patient safety and treatment outcomes. His research demonstrates a commitment to practical, scalable solutions that empower clinical workflows, earning recognition among peers in the proton therapy community. By integrating detector physics with clinical application, he continues to shape the future of particle therapy, ensuring that cutting-edge technologies like PBS are delivered with uncompromising precision.
