Xinguang Yu

About

Xinguang Yu is a pioneering researcher in the integration of advanced neuroimaging with precision radiation oncology. His key research areas include functional MRI, diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) tractography, and stereotactic radiosurgery, particularly CyberKnife and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Yu’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how combining functional MRI and white matter tractography data can enhance the safety and efficacy of CyberKnife radiosurgery for intracranial tumors, allowing for more precise targeting while sparing critical neural pathways. His most-cited work, "Integration of Functional MRI and White Matter Tractography in CyberKnife Radiosurgery" (2017, 18 citations), provides a foundational framework for this approach. Additionally, his study on SBRT for small extracranial metastases from ovarian or uterine cancer (2012, 4 citations) highlights promising local control and normal tissue tolerance using a 5-fraction regimen. Though early in citation impact, Yu’s work is notable for bridging imaging and therapy, offering a roadmap for personalized, functionally guided radiation treatment. His research continues to influence the development of safer, more effective radiosurgical techniques for complex tumor cases.
