About

Kazuyuki Uehara is a leading expert in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), with a focused research program on optimizing real-time tumour motion tracking for lung and liver cancers. His major contributions center on the CyberKnife Synchrony system, where he has systematically investigated the critical role of fiducial marker placement in treatment accuracy. His most cited work (11 citations) retrospectively assessed single fiducial marker tracking for liver tumours, providing essential data on motion tracking uncertainties. He further demonstrated that fiducial marker position directly impacts target volume definition in lung SBRT (5 citations), a finding with direct clinical implications for treatment planning. Uehara has also explored the influence of patient positioning—comparing supine versus prone orientations for different lung tumour locations—addressing a unique limitation of the CyberKnife’s ceiling-to-floor beam delivery. His research bridges a vital gap between engineering precision and clinical practice, helping to refine SBRT protocols for better patient outcomes. Through these studies, Uehara has established himself as a key voice in advancing robotic radiosurgery techniques, particularly for challenging thoracic and abdominal targets.
