OverviewAI-generated summary

Edvaldo Galhardo's research focuses on advanced radiotherapy techniques, particularly in the context of treating previously irradiated tumors in the brain and spine. His work includes investigating the feasibility of 3D Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT)-based GRID therapy, a technique that uses a large number of tightly collimated, high-dose beams to treat tumors while sparing surrounding tissue. Galhardo also examines pulsed reduced dose-rate radiotherapy as a treatment option for recurrent or previously treated tumors.

His research involves comparative analyses of different treatment planning systems, such as Brainlab elements and Eclipse RapidArc, to evaluate their dosimetric accuracy and effectiveness for specific procedures like spine stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Galhardo has published 16 papers, accumulating 154 citations and an h-index of 5. He collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Milan Bimali, G. Narayanasamy, Faraz Kalantari, and Garron Deshazer.
