About
Sujatha Manikandan is a leading researcher in the field of medical physics, with a primary focus on stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) and precision radiation oncology. Her work centers on improving the accuracy of frameless SRT by addressing complex patient positioning errors, particularly the interplay between translational and rotational misalignments. In her most cited paper (2022, 7 citations), Manikandan introduced a novel methodology to calculate set-up margins that account for rotational positional errors, converting six-dimensional (6D) setup data into corrected three-dimensional (3D) translational margins. This contribution is critical for enhancing target coverage while minimizing damage to healthy tissue, directly impacting clinical protocols in stereotactic treatments. Her research demonstrates a rigorous approach to error analysis, offering practical solutions for real-world radiotherapy challenges. Manikandan’s work is highly regarded for its technical depth and clinical applicability, making her a valuable voice in the advancement of precise, patient-specific radiation therapy techniques. Her findings continue to inform best practices in frameless SRT, underscoring her role in pushing the boundaries of treatment accuracy.
