About
Soumya Roy is a medical physicist whose work centers on improving the precision of frameless stereotactic radiotherapy, a critical technique for treating brain tumors and other lesions. His most cited research tackles a fundamental challenge in radiation therapy: correcting for the six-dimensional (6D) positional inaccuracies—lateral, longitudinal, vertical, pitch, roll, and yaw—that can occur during patient setup. Roy developed a novel mathematical formulation to reduce these complex 6D shifts into a simpler three-dimensional (3D) linear shift, a method that streamlines treatment verification and enhances accuracy. His 2018 paper on this methodology has garnered 19 citations, reflecting its practical value in clinical physics. By bridging theoretical geometry with real-world application, Roy has contributed to making frameless stereotactic radiotherapy more reliable and accessible, reducing the need for invasive head frames. His work is particularly relevant for researchers and clinicians seeking to optimize image-guided radiation therapy, offering a clear, verifiable approach to minimizing patient positioning errors.
