About

Mauritius Hoevels is a medical physicist and radiation oncology researcher whose work sits at the intersection of radiomics, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and treatment planning optimization. Best known for his pioneering investigations into radiomic biomarkers derived from planning computed tomograms, Hoevels has made significant contributions to predicting radiation-induced lung injury and oncologic outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with robotic SBRT. His landmark 2019 study (44 citations) demonstrated that radiomics analysis could meaningfully forecast both toxicity and treatment response, a finding he subsequently validated across two independent institutions in a 2021 follow-up (29 citations), strengthening the generalizability of his models. Beyond lung cancer, Hoevels has advanced the field of robotic radiosurgery for brain metastases, proposing a novel quality index to minimize radionecrosis risk by optimizing irradiated brain volume at 12 Gy — work that has accumulated 11 citations since 2017. His additional research into prescription isodose levels and collimator selection further refines treatment planning precision in stereotactic radiosurgery. Collectively, his publications reflect a rigorous, clinically motivated approach to improving patient safety and treatment efficacy in advanced radiation oncology.
