About
Araceli Gago-Arias is a leading medical physicist whose research centers on the precision and safety of stereotactic radiosurgery, with a particular focus on the CyberKnife system. Her most cited work, "Correction factors for ionization chamber dosimetry in CyberKnife: Machine‐specific, plan‐class, and clinical fields" (2013, 15 citations), provides a critical advancement in small-field dosimetry. In this study, she applied the rigorous Alfonso formalism to derive essential correction factors for ionization chambers used in CyberKnife treatments. This work directly addresses the challenge of accurate dose measurement in nonstandard fields, where conventional dosimetry protocols fall short. By characterizing machine-specific, plan-class, and clinical field corrections, Gago-Arias has helped establish more reliable reference dosimetry for this widely used robotic radiosurgery platform. Her contributions are vital for ensuring that the high doses delivered in stereotactic treatments are both effective and safe, minimizing risks to patients. Through this foundational research, she has made a lasting impact on the quality assurance and clinical implementation of advanced radiotherapy techniques.
