About
Dr. Canan Köksal is a dedicated medical physicist whose research centers on the precision and safety of stereotactic radiosurgery, with a particular focus on the CyberKnife robotic system. Her most cited work, a 2019 study on patient-specific quality assurance (QA) for intracranial cases, addresses a critical clinical need: ensuring that complex treatment plans deliver the intended dose with sub-millimeter accuracy. By systematically validating the ray-tracing algorithm with ion chamber measurements across 25 intracranial plans, Dr. Köksal provided a robust, reproducible framework for pretreatment QA that directly enhances patient safety. This contribution, which has garnered 6 citations, underscores her commitment to bridging the gap between advanced treatment technology and rigorous clinical verification. Her expertise in radiosurgery QA positions her as a key figure in the ongoing effort to standardize and improve quality control protocols for robotic radiosurgery, making her work essential reading for physicists and clinicians striving to deliver safer, more effective stereotactic treatments.
