About
Michio Senda is a medical physicist whose research centers on the precision and accuracy of stereotactic radiosurgery, with a particular focus on respiratory motion management. His most cited work evaluates the CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery system’s ability to track moving tumors during treatment. In this study, Senda used a dynamic motion phantom with a gold-marker-embedded ball target to simulate realistic respiratory motion, then analyzed Beam’s eye view images from a CCD camera to quantify tracking accuracy. This contribution is critical for ensuring that high-dose radiation is delivered precisely to mobile tumors—such as those in the lung or liver—while sparing healthy tissue. Although his citation count is modest, his work addresses a fundamental challenge in modern radiotherapy: compensating for patient breathing during treatment. By providing objective data on system performance, Senda’s research helps clinicians set appropriate motion management margins and treatment parameters. His findings support the safe clinical implementation of robotic radiosurgery for moving targets, directly impacting patient safety and treatment efficacy in radiation oncology.
