About
Maximilian F. Reiser is a pioneering figure in the field of stereotactic radiosurgery, with a particular focus on the clinical application of the CyberKnife robotic system. His research centers on image-guided, real-time respiratory tumor tracking, a technology that dramatically improves the precision of radiation delivery to moving targets like lung and liver tumors. Reiser’s major contributions include the technical validation and clinical feasibility studies for single-session lung radiosurgery, demonstrating that robotic tracking can achieve high accuracy for tumors affected by respiration. His landmark 2007 paper, cited 59 times, remains a foundational reference for this technique. He further advanced the field by integrating functional imaging, notably using diffusion-weighted MRI to assess treatment response in liver malignancies after radiosurgery, as shown in his 2014 study. Reiser also provided critical real-world evidence through a comprehensive review of the first 1,000 CyberKnife cases at a dedicated therapy center, establishing benchmarks for safety and efficacy. His work bridges engineering and oncology, enabling non-invasive, high-precision cancer treatments that have become standard practice in stereotactic body radiation therapy.
