About
Yusuke Koba is a leading researcher in medical radiation dosimetry, specializing in the development of advanced two-dimensional (2D) thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLDs) for radiotherapy quality assurance. His major contributions center on pioneering Al₂O₃:Cr ceramic-based 2D TLDs, which offer reusable, high-resolution alternatives to conventional film dosimeters. Koba demonstrated the applicability of these novel slab dosimeters for robotic radiosurgery QA, addressing longstanding issues of nonuniformity and low repeatability in 2D TLDs. His work on characterizing these dosimeters for 4, 6, and 10 MV X-ray beams has been cited 13 times, while his foundational study on robotic radiosurgery QA has garnered 11 citations, establishing a solid impact in the field. By enabling more reliable and efficient dose verification for complex treatments like stereotactic radiosurgery, Koba’s research directly enhances patient safety and treatment precision. His achievements represent a significant step toward replacing film with reusable passive dosimeters in clinical practice, making him a key figure in advancing radiotherapy dosimetry technology.
