About
K Grantham is a leading figure in the clinical translation of proton therapy, with a primary focus on the commissioning, quality assurance, and safe implementation of advanced radiation oncology systems. Their most-cited work, detailing the first clinical gantry-mounted proton therapy system (2016, 36 citations), provides a foundational blueprint for the field. This paper describes the comprehensive commissioning process of the Mevion S250 system at the S. Lee Kling Proton Therapy Center, establishing critical benchmarks for dosimetric accuracy, mechanical alignment, and safety protocols that have guided subsequent installations worldwide. Grantham’s contributions are pivotal in bridging the gap between engineering and patient care, ensuring that compact, single-room proton platforms deliver precise, reliable treatment. Their research directly supports the broader adoption of proton therapy by demonstrating its clinical viability and operational rigor. With a career dedicated to the practical challenges of medical physics, Grantham remains a key voice in advancing particle therapy, helping to make this cutting-edge technology more accessible and effective for cancer patients.
