About
C. Lafond is a medical physicist whose research centers on stereotactic radiosurgery quality assurance and dosimetry, with a particular focus on CyberKnife technology. Their most impactful contribution is a landmark study on plan delivery quality assurance for CyberKnife, which applied statistical process control analysis to 350 film-based patient-specific QAs—a foundational work that has garnered 31 citations and established benchmarks for clinical QA protocols. Lafond also advanced understanding of peripheral dose distributions in brain treatments with the CyberKnife M6 system, a study that has been cited 9 times and provides critical data for treatment planning safety. This work demonstrates Lafond’s commitment to improving the precision and reliability of robotic radiosurgery, directly impacting patient safety and treatment outcomes. Their research is essential reading for medical physicists and radiation oncology professionals seeking evidence-based approaches to CyberKnife QA and dosimetric evaluation.
