About
Sabrina Pitzler is a leading figure in the field of stereotactic radiotherapy, with a focused expertise in advanced imaging and precision patient positioning for intracranial tumor treatment. Her major contributions center on the integration and validation of stereoscopic X-ray imaging and cone-beam CT (CBCT) for automatic couch positioning, a critical innovation that enhances the accuracy of radiation delivery. In her seminal 2016 pilot study, Pitzler demonstrated the feasibility of a fully integrated cross-modality system, systematically comparing positioning errors detected by stereoscopic X-ray imaging against CBCT benchmarks. This work, which has garnered 16 citations, provided foundational evidence for reducing setup uncertainties in stereotactic radiosurgery, directly improving treatment outcomes for patients with brain tumors. Her research bridges the gap between imaging technology and clinical workflow, offering a practical framework for real-time, non-invasive alignment. Pitzler’s achievements are notable for their translational impact, establishing a gold standard for quality assurance in high-precision radiotherapy and influencing subsequent protocols in radiation oncology.
