About
Marianne Aznar is a leading medical physicist whose research focuses on improving the precision and safety of radiation therapy, particularly through motion management and adaptive treatment techniques. Her major contributions center on understanding how to effectively implement real-time respiratory motion management and plan adaptation in clinical practice, addressing critical gaps between technological capability and routine clinical adoption. Aznar led the landmark POP-ART RT study, a comprehensive international survey that documented patterns of practice for intra-fraction breathing motion management, revealing significant variability in implementation and identifying key barriers to adoption. This work, cited nearly 60 times, has provided essential evidence for standardizing motion management protocols and improving treatment accuracy for thoracic and abdominal cancers. Her research has directly influenced clinical guidelines and helped bridge the gap between advanced radiotherapy technologies and their practical application. Aznar's work is notable for its pragmatic, implementation-focused approach that prioritizes tangible improvements in patient care, making her a respected voice in the radiation oncology community.
