About

S. Boucher is a medical physicist and radiation technology researcher whose work sits at the intersection of accelerator engineering and advanced radiotherapy delivery. His research focuses on compact linear accelerator (linac) design, non-coplanar radiotherapy optimization, and the application of intermediate-energy X-rays to improve treatment precision while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Boucher's most influential contribution — a 2021 paper on compact X-band electron linacs for radiotherapy and security applications, garnering 27 citations — demonstrates his dual-use approach to accelerator technology, bridging clinical and industrial applications. His 2014 investigation into 2 MV intermediate-energy X-rays for extracranial robotic radiotherapy (14 citations) challenged conventional megavoltage assumptions, using Monte Carlo simulations to establish the dosimetric feasibility of a less-explored energy regime. Building on this foundation, his 2019 work on many-isocenter optimization for robotic radiotherapy (10 citations) tackled the clinical translation challenges of 4π non-coplanar treatment delivery — a technique promising superior tumor dose conformality with reduced toxicity. Collectively, Boucher's research advances a coherent vision: enabling more precise, robotically delivered radiotherapy through innovative hardware and intelligent optimization, with meaningful implications for both cancer treatment outcomes and broader particle beam applications.
