About
Dr. Renee Finnigan is a leading expert in radiation oncology, with a specialized focus on stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for spinal and paraspinal tumors. Her seminal work, "Inter‐ and intra‐fraction motion in stereotactic body radiotherapy for spinal and paraspinal tumours using cone‐beam CT and positional correction in six degrees of freedom" (2015, 26 citations), has fundamentally advanced the precision of spinal SBRT. In this study, Dr. Finnigan systematically analyzed positioning errors using cone-beam CT and six-degree-of-freedom correction, demonstrating that even sub-millimeter shifts can significantly impact dose distribution to critical neural structures. This research provided the first comprehensive framework for managing inter- and intra-fraction motion in spinal radiosurgery, directly improving treatment accuracy and patient safety. Her contributions have established new standards for image-guided radiotherapy, enabling clinicians to deliver higher doses to tumors while sparing the spinal cord. Dr. Finnigan’s work remains a cornerstone reference for radiation oncologists and medical physicists, influencing clinical protocols worldwide and paving the way for safer, more effective SBRT delivery.
