About
N. Yokota’s research centers on the precision of radiation delivery in robotic radiosurgery, with a particular focus on respiratory motion management. Their most cited work evaluates the accuracy of the CyberKnife system’s respiratory motion tracking, using a dynamic phantom with a gold-marked ball to simulate tumor movement. By analyzing Beam’s eye view images from a CCD camera, Yokota demonstrated how effectively the system compensates for breathing-induced target shifts—a critical challenge in treating thoracic and abdominal cancers. Though their citation count is modest, this foundational study contributes to the safety and efficacy of real-time adaptive radiotherapy, helping to reduce healthy tissue damage while maximizing tumor dose. Yokota’s work supports the broader clinical adoption of robotic radiosurgery for moving targets, offering valuable data for physicists and clinicians refining motion management protocols. Their attention to phantom-based validation underscores a commitment to rigorous, reproducible quality assurance in advanced radiation oncology.
