About
Yuanshui Zheng is a medical physicist whose work centers on proton radiotherapy, with a particular focus on patient positioning systems and treatment delivery for challenging clinical scenarios. His research addresses the critical need for precise, reproducible patient alignment in proton therapy, especially for patients who cannot be treated in standard supine positions. Zheng’s major contribution includes the development and clinical commissioning of a specialized chair coupled to a robotic patient positioning system (PPS) for treating intracranial tumors with an inclined beam line. This innovation enabled accurate and efficient treatment delivery for patients in the seated position—a significant advancement for those with anatomical or medical constraints. His work on acceptance testing for the Monarch-250 proton radiotherapy unit further demonstrates his expertise in ensuring the safety and performance of advanced treatment systems. With over 8 citations across his most influential papers, Zheng’s contributions have helped expand the accessibility and precision of proton therapy, directly impacting patient care by accommodating non-standard treatment positions. His research remains essential reading for medical physicists and engineers developing next-generation proton therapy facilities.
