How to perform dosimetry with Optical CT
Both polymer gels and PRESAGE radiochromic solid dosimeter, in conjunction with optical CT scanning system, have been employed to measure 3-D dose distribution. The 3-D dose maps obtained from these systems can provide a useful tool for dose verification on complex treatments such as IMRT, radiosurgery, and RapidArc. These complex treatments present high dose gradient regions in the boundaries ...
متن کاملCharacterization of a reusable PRESAGE® 3D dosimeter
This study investigates a reusable PRESAGE® 3D dosimeter (Presage-RU), which would improve cost-effectiveness and facilitate wider implementation of comprehensive, high resolution 3D dosimetry. Small (1x1x4.5 cm) and large (8 cm diameter, 4.5 cm length) sample dosimeters were irradiated multiple times to characterize dose response (i.e. radiation-induced change in optical density (∆OD)), optica...
متن کاملEvaluation of Factors Affecting Absorbed Dose, Optimization Methods and Patient Dose Reduction in Dental Cone Beam CT (CBCT)
Introduction: Nowadays the use of cone beam computed tomography in dental imaging is increasing, although this method has a much lower dose than conventional CT scans, it delivers a higher dose than the panoramic and periapical patients therefore, , the aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the patients' dose in dental CBCTs and methods of optimizing and reducing the patien...
متن کاملDose Verification of Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia with Presage 3D Dosimetry System.
Achieving adequate verification and quality-assurance (QA) for radiosurgery treatment of trigeminal-neuralgia (TGN) is particularly challenging because of the combination of very small fields, very high doses, and complex irradiation geometries (multiple gantry and couch combinations). TGN treatments have extreme requirements for dosimetry tools and QA techniques, to ensure adequate verificatio...
متن کاملEffective dose from cone beam CT examinations in dentistry.
Cone beam CT (CBCT) is becoming an increasingly utilized imaging modality for dental examinations in the UK. Previous studies have presented little information on patient dose for the range of fields of view (FOVs) that can be utilized. The purpose of the study was therefore to calculate the effective dose delivered to the patient during a selection of CBCT examinations performed in dentistry. ...
