About
Sami Alshaikh is a leading figure in medical physics, with a focused expertise in the quality assurance and dosimetry of advanced stereotactic radiosurgery systems. His most cited work, "Quality assurance of Cyberknife robotic stereotactic radiosurgery using an angularly independent silicon detector" (2018, 14 citations), addresses a critical challenge in radiotherapy: achieving precise dose measurements regardless of beam angle. Alshaikh’s major contribution lies in pioneering the use of edgeless silicon diodes—detectors that maintain angular independence—for Cyberknife QA. By characterizing these detectors in phantoms and for patient-specific plans, he demonstrated a robust method to enhance the accuracy and safety of robotic radiosurgery. This work is foundational for clinics seeking reliable, real-time dosimetry in complex treatments. Beyond this, Alshaikh’s research impacts the broader field of megavoltage radiotherapy, offering solutions to longstanding measurement uncertainties. His achievements underscore a commitment to bridging detector innovation with clinical practice, making him a valuable resource for students and researchers exploring stereotactic radiosurgery QA, detector physics, and patient safety in radiation oncology.
