About

Takahiro Fujimoto is a leading figure in the field of stereotactic radiosurgery, with a focused expertise in enhancing geometric precision for frameless, non-invasive treatments. His major contributions center on the rigorous validation of advanced image-guided systems, particularly the integration of 6D robotic couch technology. His seminal 2009 paper, cited over 119 times, provided a foundational assessment of the overall geometric accuracy of the Novalis system with a Robotic Tilt Module, systematically analyzing correction accuracy and uncertainty in frameless stereotactic radiotherapy. This work has been instrumental in establishing the reliability of robotic patient positioning for high-precision cranial procedures. More recently, his 2021 study evaluated intrafractional head motion using a thermoplastic frameless mask combined with a ceiling-floor-mounted image guidance device, further advancing patient comfort and treatment accuracy. Through these contributions, Fujimoto has helped solidify the clinical viability of frameless techniques, reducing the need for invasive head frames while maintaining submillimeter accuracy—a critical achievement for both patient safety and treatment efficacy in radiosurgery.
