About
Jinkoo Kim is a medical physicist whose research sits at the intersection of image-guided radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), with a particular focus on precision targeting and treatment delivery for complex clinical cases including spinal tumors. His most influential work examines the localization accuracy of stereoscopic and volumetric imaging systems used in stereotactic procedures, a 2010 phantom study that has garnered 51 citations and remains a foundational reference for clinical implementation teams worldwide. Kim's 2012 paper on commissioning the Novalis Tx linear accelerator — cited 46 times — provided the field with comprehensive technical guidelines that have helped standardize how institutions bring advanced SRS and SBRT platforms into clinical use. His 2018 contribution on treatment planning for spinal radiosurgery, with 35 citations, further demonstrates his sustained commitment to one of radiation oncology's most technically demanding subspecialties. Complementing these works, his research on dual image-guided localization for spine radiosurgery highlights his interest in combining ExacTrac and cone-beam CT technologies to optimize patient setup accuracy. Collectively, Kim's contributions have meaningfully shaped quality assurance and clinical practice standards in modern precision radiotherapy.
