About
L. Petrokokkinos is a leading expert in medical physics, specializing in stereotactic radiosurgery and radiation dosimetry. Their research focuses on the precise measurement and quality assurance of advanced radiotherapy systems, particularly the CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery platform. Petrokokkinos’s most impactful work, “On the output factor measurements of the CyberKnife iris collimator small fields” (2012, 64 citations), provides essential experimental data on correction factors for microchamber and diode detectors when measuring output factors in small radiation fields. This contribution is critical for accurate dose delivery in stereotactic treatments, directly impacting patient safety and treatment efficacy. Additionally, their study “Image guidance quality assurance of a G4 CyberKnife robotic stereotactic radiosurgery system” (2009, 9 citations) established rigorous protocols for verifying the accuracy of target localization and x-ray imaging components. By developing and validating these quality assurance methods, Petrokokkinos has helped ensure the reliability of image-guided radiosurgery. Their work is foundational for clinical physicists and engineers striving to improve the precision of modern radiation therapy.
