About

P.R. Poulsen is a leading expert in real-time adaptive radiotherapy, with a research focus on intrafraction motion management and the clinical implementation of advanced tracking technologies. His major contributions center on developing and validating systems that compensate for tumor motion during treatment—including robotic, gimbaled, multileaf collimator (MLC), and couch tracking—to improve dosimetric accuracy while sparing healthy tissues. His 2019 paper on real-time intrafraction motion monitoring has garnered 219 citations, reflecting its foundational role in the field. A key achievement is his leadership in AAPM Task Group 264, which produced essential guidelines for the safe clinical adoption of MLC tracking, now cited 92 times. His multi-institutional dosimetric comparison (95 citations) demonstrated that adaptive treatments significantly outperform non-adaptive approaches in the presence of patient-measured tumor motion. Through the POP-ART RT study, he has also shaped patterns of practice for breathing motion management, helping to identify barriers and drive clinical translation. With over 460 total citations across his most-cited works, Poulsen’s research bridges engineering innovation and clinical practice, making him a pivotal figure in the era of real-time radiotherapy.
