About
Kathleen Faber is a distinguished medical physicist whose research has significantly advanced the precision and safety of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Her key contributions center on the clinical commissioning and optimization of advanced linear accelerators, most notably the Novalis Tx system. In her highly cited 2012 study, which has garnered 46 citations, Faber established comprehensive technical guidelines for transitioning this complex equipment from acceptance testing to first clinical use. This work provided a critical framework for ensuring accurate dose delivery and patient safety in high-precision radiation treatments. Beyond this landmark paper, Faber's research has consistently focused on quality assurance protocols and dosimetric verification for cutting-edge radiotherapy technologies. Her meticulous approach to commissioning procedures has helped set industry standards, enabling clinics worldwide to safely implement advanced SRS and SBRT programs. Through her methodical investigations and clear technical guidance, Faber has become a trusted authority in the field, directly influencing how medical physicists validate and deploy sophisticated radiation delivery systems for improved cancer care.
