About
Megumi Uto is a radiation oncology researcher whose work centers on improving the precision and safety of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), particularly for intracranial treatments. Her most-cited study, published in 2021, rigorously evaluated intrafractional head motion in patients treated with a thermoplastic frameless mask and a ceiling-floor-mounted image guidance device. This work provided critical data on the accuracy of frameless immobilization, demonstrating that even with such systems, small but clinically significant movements can occur, thereby informing strategies to enhance treatment delivery and reduce margins. With 10 citations, this paper has become a key reference for clinics adopting frameless SRS, highlighting Uto’s contribution to bridging the gap between technological innovation and clinical reliability. Her research directly supports safer, more effective radiotherapy by quantifying real-world motion uncertainties, making her a valuable voice in the ongoing effort to refine image-guided techniques. For students and researchers, Uto’s work exemplifies how meticulous evaluation of technical parameters can translate into tangible improvements in patient outcomes.
