About
L. Sakelliou is a leading expert in medical physics, specializing in the dosimetry of small radiation fields used in advanced radiotherapy techniques, particularly robotic radiosurgery. Her major contributions center on the accurate measurement and characterization of output factors for the CyberKnife system, a critical challenge due to the loss of charged particle equilibrium in small fields. Her seminal 2012 work, cited 64 times, experimentally determined essential correction factors for microchambers and diode detectors when using the CyberKnife's variable iris collimator, providing a methodological foundation for precise dose delivery. Building on this, her 2010 study, with 61 citations, was pivotal in implementing a novel dosimetric formalism for nonstandard fields into a robotic radiosurgery system, addressing the calibration and measurement complexities unique to these treatment modalities. By bridging theoretical dosimetric frameworks with practical clinical application, Sakelliou’s research has significantly enhanced the reliability of small-field dosimetry, directly impacting patient safety and treatment efficacy. Her work is indispensable for medical physicists and researchers striving to improve the accuracy of stereotactic radiosurgery and other high-precision radiation therapies.
