About

Thierry Gevaert is a leading figure in the field of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SBRT), with a career dedicated to enhancing the geometric precision and clinical accuracy of radiation delivery. His research focuses on advanced patient positioning and real-time tumor tracking, particularly for treating moving targets like lung tumors. Gevaert’s major contributions include the clinical evaluation of a robotic 6-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) treatment couch for frameless radiosurgery, which significantly improved setup accuracy and intrafraction motion management, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2011 papers (132 and 130 citations). He also pioneered the development of a novel gimbals-based tumor tracking system, achieving geometric accuracy crucial for dynamic lung tumor tracking (164 citations). His influential review on Gamma Knife, CyberKnife, and TomoTherapy (34 citations) remains a key resource for clinicians. With a cumulative impact of over 470 citations, Gevaert’s work has directly shaped modern frameless SRS protocols, enabling safer, more precise treatments for intracranial and extracranial cancers.
