About
Faisal Alzorkany is a medical physicist whose research focuses on radiation dosimetry, quality assurance, and small field measurement techniques in advanced radiotherapy systems, particularly the CyberKnife robotic stereotactic radiosurgery platform. His work addresses one of the most technically demanding challenges in modern radiation oncology: ensuring accurate dose delivery in small, precisely targeted radiation fields where conventional measurement tools often fall short. Alzorkany's most cited contribution, a 2018 study garnering 14 citations, pioneered the evaluation of angularly independent silicon detectors — specifically edgeless diodes — for CyberKnife quality assurance in both phantom and patient settings. This work offered a practical solution to the angular dependence limitations that traditionally complicate dosimetry in rotational delivery systems. Building on this foundation, his 2022 study, which has accumulated 6 citations, conducted a comprehensive multi-detector comparison for small field output factor measurements, benchmarking technologies including 3D polymer gel, ionization chambers, diodes, diamond detectors, scintillators, Gafchromic film, and Monte Carlo simulation. This breadth of methodology demonstrates his commitment to rigorous, clinically translatable validation. Alzorkany's research ultimately enhances the safety and precision of radiosurgery treatments, making his work highly relevant to both clinical medical physicists and researchers advancing radiotherapy dosimetry standards.
