About
Md Abdullah Al Kafi is a medical physicist whose research centers on quality assurance (QA) and dosimetry for CyberKnife robotic stereotactic radiosurgery systems. His work addresses one of the most technically demanding challenges in modern radiation therapy: ensuring precise, accurate dose delivery in small-field, high-precision treatments where conventional measurement tools often fall short. Al Kafi's most influential contribution — a 2019 study garnering 43 citations — introduced a novel N-(3-methoxypropyl) acrylamide polymer gel dosimeter combined with optical CT imaging for three-dimensional QA in CyberKnife radiotherapy, representing a significant methodological advancement in volumetric dose verification. He has systematically evaluated a range of dosimetric tools, including edgeless silicon diodes, scintillators, diamond detectors, Gafchromic film, and Monte Carlo simulation, benchmarking their suitability for small-field output factor measurements. His 2021 work further assessed high-definition commercial 3D QA systems, providing clinically actionable guidance for radiotherapy centers worldwide. With nearly 80 cumulative citations across five focused publications, Al Kafi's contributions have meaningfully shaped best practices in CyberKnife dosimetry, offering radiation oncology teams validated, practical tools to ensure patient safety in radiosurgical treatments.
