About
Stefania Clemente is a leading figure in radiation oncology physics, with her research fundamentally advancing the precision and safety of radiotherapy for head and neck cancers. Her most impactful work critically evaluates image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) technologies, specifically comparing the ExacTrac X-ray system to standard cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Clemente’s seminal 2013 study, cited 13 times, demonstrated that the ExacTrac system, with its six-degrees-of-freedom robotic correction, offers a highly accurate and efficient alternative for patient positioning. This contribution is vital for minimizing setup errors in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), directly improving tumor targeting while sparing healthy tissue. By validating non-invasive, real-time imaging solutions, Clemente has helped establish more robust clinical workflows. Her work is essential reading for medical physicists and radiation oncologists seeking to optimize treatment delivery, underscoring her role in enhancing the therapeutic ratio for some of the most challenging cancer cases.
