About
S. Saramad is a leading researcher in medical physics, specializing in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and precision radiation oncology. Their key research focuses on optimizing target margin design for moving tumors treated with the CyberKnife system—a robotic radiosurgery platform. Saramad’s major contribution lies in developing evidence-based, data-driven approaches to calculate planning target volume (PTV) margins, directly addressing the challenge of accounting for real-time tumor motion and system errors. In their highly cited 2022 study, Saramad analyzed a large cohort of clinical log data from the CyberKnife system to quantify PTV margins for real-time tumor tracking, a work that has garnered 8 citations for its practical impact on treatment accuracy. Building on this, their 2023 multi-center feasibility study introduced a novel margin estimation method that incorporates error propagation and covariance of modeling and prediction errors, earning 3 citations for its innovative approach. By translating complex error analysis into actionable clinical guidelines, Saramad’s research enhances the safety and efficacy of SBRT for moving targets, making them a key figure in advancing personalized, precise cancer treatment.
