About
Yohei Yanagiya is a researcher whose work centers on the precision and safety of stereotactic radiosurgery, with a particular focus on respiratory motion management. His most-cited study, "Factors affecting the accuracy of respiratory tracking of the image-guided robotic radiosurgery system" (2019), has garnered 15 citations, establishing a foundational reference for clinicians and physicists seeking to optimize tracking performance. Yanagiya’s major contribution lies in systematically identifying and quantifying the key variables—such as marker placement, breathing pattern irregularities, and system latency—that influence the fidelity of real-time tumor localization during treatment. This work directly addresses a critical challenge in treating moving tumors, particularly in the lung and liver, where millimeter-level accuracy can determine treatment success or failure. By providing a clear framework for error analysis, Yanagiya has helped improve the clinical reliability of robotic radiosurgery systems, enabling more confident dose delivery while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. His research serves as a practical guide for medical physicists and radiation oncologists, bridging the gap between engineering specifications and real-world clinical outcomes.
