About
T Bichay is a leading medical physicist whose research centers on the precision and safety of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), with a particular focus on spinal and cranial treatments. His most impactful work, "Treatment planning for spinal radiosurgery" (2018, 35 citations), provides foundational guidance for delivering high-dose radiation to spinal tumors while sparing critical adjacent structures. Bichay further advanced the field by investigating patient immobilization, notably in his study on the continuous assessment of cranial motion within thermoplastic masks during CyberKnife radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia (2016, 20 citations). This work highlighted the extreme accuracy required for SRS, where steep dose gradients demand submillimeter localization. Challenging prevailing assumptions, Bichay co-authored the provocative debate piece "Submillimeter accuracy in radiosurgery is not possible" (2013, 10 citations), arguing that physical and technical limitations make true submillimeter precision unattainable—a perspective that has spurred critical discussion on realistic accuracy benchmarks. Through these contributions, Bichay has shaped clinical protocols for spinal radiosurgery and deepened understanding of motion management, earning recognition as a thoughtful voice on the limits and possibilities of modern SRS.
