About
Dr. Keiko Shibuya has made focused, impactful contributions to the field of medical physics, specifically in the quality assurance (QA) of radiation therapy. Her key research centers on improving the precision of robotic phantom systems—critical tools used to verify that radiation doses are delivered accurately to tumors while sparing healthy tissue. In her most cited work, "A reference trajectory correction algorithm to improve the tracking accuracy of the robotic phantom system used in the quality assurance of the radiation therapy" (2018, 2 citations), Dr. Shibuya introduces a novel algorithm that generates an augmented reference position trajectory for real-time 3D robotic phantoms. This innovation directly addresses a central challenge in clinical QA: ensuring that moving targets, such as lung tumors affected by breathing, are tracked with sub-millimeter accuracy during treatment. By enhancing the fidelity of these phantom systems, her work helps safeguard patient outcomes and supports the reliability of advanced radiotherapy techniques. Though her citation count is modest, the technical depth and clinical relevance of her contribution underscore its value to specialists in radiation oncology QA. Dr. Shibuya’s research exemplifies how targeted engineering solutions can strengthen the safety and efficacy of cancer care.
