About
Sergejs Unterkirhers is a medical physicist and radiation oncology researcher whose work centers on advancing stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for metastatic disease. His primary research areas include automated treatment planning, plan quality assessment, and comparative dosimetry for next-generation linear accelerators. Unterkirhers made a significant contribution by systematically evaluating automatically generated O‑Ring linac SBRT plans for pelvic lymph node metastases, establishing an absolute PTV volume threshold that serves as a practical quality prediction criterion for clinical decision‑making. His landmark 2023 study, which has garnered early citations, directly compared Halcyon linac plans with robotic SBRT to identify the optimal minimum target size, providing actionable guidance for treatment planning. This work bridges the gap between automation efficiency and clinical robustness, helping to standardize SBRT delivery across platforms. Unterkirhers’ research is particularly notable for its translational focus, offering clear benchmarks that empower clinicians to confidently adopt automated planning in complex pelvic cases. His findings are already informing institutional protocols and shaping quality assurance practices in modern radiotherapy.
