About
Peter M. T. Pattynama is a leading figure in interventional radiology and oncologic imaging, with a particular focus on innovative techniques for lung cancer treatment. His key research areas encompass image-guided radiotherapy, vascular interventions, and the development of novel biomarkers for tumor targeting. One of his most notable contributions is the pioneering use of endovascular platinum coils as fiducial markers for real-time tumor tracking during stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) with the CyberKnife system. This work, published in 2008 and cited over 40 times, demonstrated a minimally invasive method to correct for respiratory motion, significantly improving the precision of high-dose radiation delivery to lung tumors. By enabling safer and more effective treatment, Pattynama’s research has directly impacted clinical practice, offering new hope for patients with inoperable lung lesions. His achievements reflect a career dedicated to bridging radiology and oncology, advancing personalized, motion-compensated cancer therapies.
