About
Katrien Leysen is a leading researcher in medical physics and radiation oncology, with a primary focus on improving the precision of cancer treatments through advanced motion management technologies. Her most influential work centers on the development and validation of a novel gimbals-based radiation therapy tumor tracking system, as detailed in her highly cited 2011 paper (164 citations). This research addresses the critical challenge of compensating for tumor motion caused by respiration during radiotherapy, offering a real-time, non-invasive solution that enhances geometric accuracy and treatment efficacy. Leysen’s contributions have significantly advanced the field of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and image-guided radiotherapy, helping to reduce healthy tissue damage while maximizing tumor dose delivery. Her work is widely recognized for its translational impact, bridging engineering innovation with clinical application. With a citation record that underscores her influence, Leysen continues to shape the future of adaptive radiotherapy, making her a key figure for students and researchers interested in precision oncology and motion management technologies.
