About

Sara Ronchi is a leading researcher in medical physics, with a primary focus on improving the accuracy and safety of image-guided radiation therapy, particularly for lung cancer. Her most cited work, "Translational and rotational localization errors in cone-beam CT based image-guided lung stereotactic radiotherapy" (2016, 32 citations), provides a critical analysis of setup uncertainties in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). By quantifying both translational and rotational errors in cone-beam CT-guided treatments, Ronchi’s research has directly informed clinical protocols to reduce geometric misses and enhance tumor targeting precision. This contribution is vital for minimizing damage to healthy tissue while maximizing dose delivery to moving lung tumors. Her work bridges the gap between advanced imaging technology and practical radiotherapy applications, offering actionable insights for radiation oncologists and medical physicists. With a citation count reflecting its influence in the field, Ronchi’s research underscores her role in advancing the reliability of non-invasive cancer treatments. Her dedication to quantifying and mitigating localization errors continues to shape best practices in image-guided radiotherapy, making her a key figure in the ongoing effort to improve patient outcomes through technological innovation.
