About
Todd Karasick is a leading expert in the physics and quality assurance of image-guided radiosurgery, with a particular focus on robotic radiosurgery systems. His research centers on the critical factors that determine targeting accuracy in stereotactic treatments, where even sub-millimeter errors can have significant clinical consequences. Karasick made a substantial contribution to the field through his work validating and extending the landmark AAPM TG-135 report, which established quality assurance recommendations for image-guided robotic radiosurgery. In his highly cited 2015 study, he systematically investigated how intentional phantom offsets affect targeting algorithm accuracy, providing essential data that helps medical physicists and clinicians understand the limits and reliability of these systems. His work has been cited over 16 times, reflecting its importance in establishing best practices for radiosurgery QA. Karasick’s research has directly informed clinical protocols, ensuring that patients receive the most precise and safe radiation treatments possible. His contributions remain a key reference for physicists and engineers working to improve the accuracy of image-guided radiation therapy.
