About
Maaike T.W. Milder is a medical physicist whose research centers on robotic radiosurgery, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), and advanced treatment planning and delivery systems. Working at the intersection of clinical innovation and technical precision, she has made significant contributions to the integration and optimization of CyberKnife-based radiotherapy platforms. Her landmark 2017 work on combining a CT-on-rails with the CyberKnife M6 system — garnering 33 citations — demonstrated a pioneering approach to image-guided SBRT for challenging sites such as the pancreas. Her most-cited publication on spinal radiosurgery treatment planning (35 citations) reflects her expertise in complex, high-precision dose delivery. Milder has further advanced the field through work on independent Monte Carlo dose verification, novel treatment plan optimization, and automated planning strategies designed to minimize radiation exposure to healthy tissue — particularly relevant for patients with benign tumors such as vestibular schwannomas. More recently, she has pushed boundaries in online adaptive SBRT and real-time tumor tracking for difficult abdominal targets including perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. Collectively, her research has meaningfully shaped how robotic radiotherapy systems are commissioned, planned, and clinically applied.
