About
James Korte is a pioneering medical physicist whose work is reshaping the landscape of radiation oncology through the development of upright radiotherapy. His primary research focuses on the technical frameworks and engineering challenges required to deliver modern, high-precision radiation treatments to patients in a seated or standing position—a paradigm shift from the conventional horizontal treatment couch. Korte’s major contribution, articulated in his highly influential 2022 paper, "Please Place Your Seat in the Full Upright Position," provides the first comprehensive technical blueprint for implementing arc and modulated therapies in an upright geometry. This work demonstrates how upright positioning can dramatically enhance patient comfort, reduce irradiation of healthy tissues, and enable the design of smaller, less expensive treatment machines. While his citation count is still growing, reflecting the nascent stage of this field, Korte’s foundational paper has already garnered 13 citations, establishing him as a leading voice in this emerging area. His research is not merely theoretical; it lays the critical groundwork for a future where radiotherapy is more accessible, patient-friendly, and anatomically advantageous.
