About
Dr. Parminder S. Basran is a leading medical physicist whose research centers on precision radiotherapy, image-guided techniques, and motion management in cancer treatment. His major contributions lie in improving the accuracy and safety of radiation delivery, particularly for brain and lung cancers. A landmark study, "Cone Beam CT Evaluation of Inter- and Intra-Fraction Motion for Patients Undergoing Brain Radiotherapy Immobilized using a Commercial Thermoplastic Mask on a Robotic Couch" (2012, 25 citations), demonstrated that even with standard immobilization, significant patient motion occurs—both between and during treatment fractions. This work has been instrumental in refining clinical protocols for stereotactic radiosurgery and fractionated IMRT, directly impacting patient setup margins and treatment precision. Dr. Basran’s research has influenced how clinics implement image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and adaptive planning, with his papers collectively cited over 1,200 times. He is also recognized for his work on quality assurance in radiation oncology and for developing practical solutions that bridge physics and clinical care. His contributions continue to shape safer, more effective radiotherapy practices worldwide.
