S. Calusi

About

S. Calusi is a medical physicist whose research focuses on advancing precision and safety in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), particularly for treating moving tumors. Their most cited work, a 2020 study on a new optimization system for robotic SBRT MLC-based plans (17 citations), directly addresses the challenge of delivering high-dose radiation to mobile lesions while sparing healthy tissue. Calusi also contributed the ADAM phantom (2019, 8 citations), a sophisticated 4D tool designed to test imaging and dose delivery devices—a critical innovation for quality assurance in complex radiotherapy. Their 2018 investigation into patient-specific quality assurance for CyberKnife MLC treatments (2 citations) further demonstrates a commitment to linking technical accuracy with clinical outcomes, analyzing how delivery errors affect dose-volume histograms. Through these contributions, Calusi has helped bridge the gap between advanced treatment planning and practical, safe clinical implementation, making their work essential for physicists and clinicians striving to improve cancer care.
