About
K.Y. Cheung has made significant contributions to medical physics, with a primary focus on radiation oncology and quality assurance in advanced radiotherapy systems. Their work addresses critical challenges in cancer care delivery, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, where they led a landmark 2014 survey examining medical physics aspects of cancer treatment. This comprehensive study, which has garnered 21 citations, provided essential insights into regional disparities and resource needs, helping shape policy and clinical practice improvements across multiple countries. Cheung also developed an innovative method for monitoring beam path accuracy in CyberKnife systems, introducing a novel evaluation procedure using ArcCHECK technology with a tailor-made Styrofoam phantom containing four implanted fiducial markers. This work enables more precise fiducial tracking during beam delivery, enhancing treatment safety and efficacy for stereotactic radiosurgery patients. Their research demonstrates a commitment to bridging clinical needs with technological solutions, advancing both the scientific understanding and practical implementation of radiation therapy quality assurance. Cheung’s contributions continue to influence medical physics practice, particularly in resource-constrained settings where their survey findings have guided infrastructure development and training initiatives.
