About

Kyung-Wook Jee is a leading expert in the development and quality assurance of advanced proton therapy systems, with a particular focus on image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) for proton pencil beam scanning (PBS). His most cited work, "Semi-automated IGRT QA using a cone-shaped scintillator screen detector for proton pencil beam scanning treatments" (2019, 13 citations), introduces a novel, semi-automated quality assurance procedure that leverages a cone-shaped scintillator detector (XRV-12) to streamline multiple QA tasks. This innovation significantly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of IGRT for PBS, addressing a critical need in clinical proton therapy. Jee's contributions are pivotal in ensuring precise dose delivery and patient safety, as his detector design allows for comprehensive, automated checks that reduce human error and treatment time. His work stands out for its practical impact on radiotherapy workflows, bridging the gap between advanced treatment technologies and robust quality control. With a focus on translational research, Jee’s achievements underscore his role in advancing proton therapy toward more reliable and accessible cancer treatments.
