Giuliano Perotti Bernardini

Giuliano Perotti Bernardini is an active researcher specializing in radiation oncology and proton therapy, with recent collaborations at OncoRay (Technische Universität Dresden) and Ion Beam Applications (IBA) S.A. His work focuses on real-time range verification and adaptive proton therapy to enhance cancer treatment precision through advanced imaging techniques.

His research centers on Proton Therapy, Adaptive Radiotherapy, and Medical Imaging, specifically investigating prompt gamma imaging, proton radiography, and PET-based verification for in vivo range assessment. He addresses critical challenges in moving targets and treatment deviations using AI-enhanced methodologies to improve therapeutic accuracy and patient outcomes.

Recent publications demonstrate a strong interdisciplinary trend integrating physics, engineering, and oncology to refine real-time adaptive proton therapy. Key themes include prompt gamma verification with cone-beam CT, PET-based distal edge monitoring, and AI-driven proton radiography for immediate treatment adaptation in complex anatomical scenarios.

Scientific recognition includes:

• BEST IN PHYSICS (Therapy): Quasi-Real-Time In Vivo Range Verification By Nitrogen-12 Positron Imaging in Proton Therapy (awarded July 25, 2024)
