About

Markus Eichner is a leading researcher in the field of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), with a primary focus on optimizing treatment for vestibular schwannomas (VS) and advancing robotic radiosurgery techniques. His most impactful work, a 2023 study accumulating 27 citations, proposes novel response criteria to distinguish between pseudoprogression—a transient, treatment-related tumor swelling—and true progressive disease following CyberKnife® SRS. This contribution is critical for preventing unnecessary interventions and improving patient management. Eichner has also made significant technical contributions to plan quality, as demonstrated in his 2021 study (8 citations) that systematically investigates how prescription isodose levels and collimator selection affect dose homogeneity in robotic radiosurgery. By clarifying the physical limitations of achieving desired dose distributions, his work directly enhances the precision and safety of SRS treatments. Through these studies, Eichner has established himself as an authority on both the clinical interpretation of post-treatment imaging changes and the engineering of optimal radiation delivery, bridging the gap between technological capability and clinical application.
