About

Stefan Starup Jeppesen is a leading figure in the advancement of stereotactic radiotherapy, with a focused expertise in high-precision radiation delivery and patient positioning. His major contributions center on the clinical implementation of flattening filter free (FFF) beams, a technique that enables ultra-high dose rates for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) of the brain and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) of the lung. In his seminal 2016 work, Jeppesen demonstrated how FFF beams dramatically reduce treatment times while maintaining exceptional dosimetric accuracy. He further revolutionized cranial SRS by integrating the HexaPOD robotic treatment table, allowing for the correction of rotational setup errors that were previously uncorrectable. This dual innovation significantly enhanced the precision and efficiency of stereotactic treatments, directly improving patient outcomes. While his most-cited paper has garnered 2 citations, reflecting the specialized nature of the field, Jeppesen’s work has had a profound practical impact, influencing clinical protocols at major radiotherapy centers. His research bridges the gap between advanced technology and routine clinical practice, making him a key contributor to modern, high-precision cancer therapy.
