About
Keita Kurosu is a leading medical physicist whose research focuses on enhancing the precision and safety of stereotactic radiosurgery, particularly with the CyberKnife robotic system. His primary contributions lie in understanding and mitigating motion-induced errors in cancer treatments, with a special emphasis on prostate and liver cancers. Kurosu’s most cited work (2018, 15 citations) investigates the dosimetric impact of intra-fraction prostate motion during hypofractionated robotic radiosurgery, demonstrating how tumour-tracking systems can correct target location in real-time to preserve dose accuracy. In a complementary study (2016, 11 citations), he introduced the novel “potential error” (PE) concept for robust dose verification in delivery quality assurance, providing a more reliable measurement point for targeting errors. His research also addresses correlation model errors and marker-tumor correlation errors in liver SBRT (2017), highlighting the clinical effects of both inter- and intra-fraction inaccuracies. Through these works, Kurosu has advanced the understanding of motion management and quality assurance in robotic radiosurgery, directly improving treatment outcomes for patients undergoing high-precision radiation therapy.
