Sung-Woo Lee

Sung-Woo Lee serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, based at the Central Maryland Radiation Oncology Center in Columbia, MD.

His educational background includes:

• Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering from Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea
• Master of Science in Health Physics from Texas A&M University
• Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering (specializing in Health Physics and Medical Physics) from Texas A&M University (2003)

Dr. Lee's research focuses on Medical Physics and Radiation Oncology, with expertise in stereotactic radiosurgery systems (Gamma Knife/CyberKnife), image-guided radiotherapy, treatment planning optimization, and imaging dose assessment. His work bridges engineering principles with clinical radiation oncology applications to enhance precision in cancer treatment.

Analysis of his 2014 publications reveals concentrated research on comparative effectiveness of stereotactic radiosurgery platforms for brain metastases, CyberKnife prescription parameter optimization, and quantification of imaging dose impacts in robotic radiosurgery. His 2008 foundational work established clinical validation protocols for dual-tube kV localization systems in radiotherapy treatment rooms.

Dr. Lee maintains active clinical engagement at the Central Maryland Radiation Oncology Center, where he applies medical physics expertise to advance radiotherapy technology implementation and quality assurance protocols.
