About
François Jouyaux is a leading medical physicist whose work has significantly advanced the safety and precision of stereotactic radiosurgery, particularly with the CyberKnife system. His primary research focuses on patient-specific quality assurance (QA) and radiation dose evaluation, ensuring that high-dose treatments are both accurate and safe. Jouyaux’s most impactful contribution is a landmark study analyzing 350 film-based patient-specific QAs for CyberKnife, where he applied statistical process control to establish robust, evidence-based tolerance limits—a methodology that has become a reference in the field, earning 31 citations. He also conducted a critical evaluation of peripheral dose for brain treatments with the CyberKnife® M6™, helping to quantify out-of-field radiation risks. By merging rigorous statistical analysis with clinical physics, Jouyaux has provided the community with practical tools to enhance treatment reliability. His work is essential reading for researchers and clinicians striving to improve radiosurgery outcomes, demonstrating how systematic QA can transform patient safety in modern radiotherapy.
