About

Todd Pawlicki is a leading figure in medical physics, with his research fundamentally reshaping radiation oncology through innovations in treatment delivery and motion management. His most impactful work, "Dynamic modulated brachytherapy (DMBT) for rectal cancer," introduces a paradigm shift by incorporating dynamic applicator movement during high-dose-rate brachytherapy—a concept that unlocks previously unattainable dose distributions and has garnered 47 citations. He has also made significant contributions to image-guided radiotherapy, as seen in his investigation of linac-based hypofractionated prostate treatments (21 citations), which helped refine precision in prostate cancer care. Pawlicki’s early work on respiratory motion compensation, comparing breath holding to real-time target tracking for lung radiosurgery, laid groundwork for modern motion management strategies. Additionally, his Monte Carlo modeling for the CyberKnife system advanced dosimetric accuracy in stereotactic radiosurgery. With a career spanning from foundational simulation techniques to cutting-edge dynamic brachytherapy, Pawlicki’s research consistently pushes the boundaries of what is achievable in radiation therapy, directly improving patient outcomes and inspiring a generation of medical physicists.
