About
O. Zeidan is a leading researcher in the field of proton radiotherapy, with a specific focus on advanced patient positioning and immobilization systems. Their work has been instrumental in enhancing the precision and safety of proton therapy, particularly for treating complex cranial and base-of-skull tumors. Zeidan’s major contributions include the development and validation of a software-driven isocentric (SDI) approach for robotic couch movements, which was rigorously tested using an optical tracking and positioning system (OTPS). This work, cited 12 times, demonstrated a novel method for achieving sub-millimeter accuracy in six-degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) robotic positioning. Additionally, Zeidan investigated the effectiveness of specialized base-of-skull immobilization systems in compact proton therapy settings, analyzing inter- and intra-fractional uncertainties to improve daily repositioning accuracy (7 citations). A notable achievement includes the commissioning of a clinical chair for treating patients in the seated position using an inclined beam line, a pioneering effort that expanded treatment accessibility for specific tumor sites (6 citations). Through these innovations, Zeidan has significantly advanced the clinical implementation of robotic patient positioning, directly improving treatment outcomes and patient safety in proton therapy.
