A monthly quality assurance procedure for 3D surface imaging
A procedure for periodic quality assurance of a video surface imaging system is introduced. AlignRT is a video camera-based patient localization system that captures and compares images of a patient's topography to a DICOM-formatted external contour, then calculates shifts required to accurately reposition the patient. This technical note describes the tools and methods implemented in our depar...
متن کاملA Specific Patient Quality Assurance (PSQA) procedure for a Co-60 source based High Dose Rate Brachytherapy
Introduction: In radiation therapy, accurate dose determination and precise dose delivery to the tumor are directly associated with better treatment outcomes in terms of higher tumor control and lower post radiation therapy complications. The current study aims the development and clinical application of the Patient Specific Quality Assurance (PSQA) procedures for nasopharyngea...
متن کاملQuality assurance for grey-scale imaging.
In 1992, the American College of Radiology (ACR) recommended a specific phantom and image analysis procedure for (x-ray) mammography (American College of Radiology 1992). This event removed uncertainty in the USA regarding quality assurance (QA) in mammography. Although the phantom and analysis procedure are probably not ideal, existence of definitive recommendations has resulted in essentially...
متن کاملA novel phantom design for brachytherapy quality assurance
Background: One major challenge in brachytherapy is to verify the accuracy of dose distributions calculated by the treatment planning system. In this project, a new phantom design has been introduced for quality assurance of dose distributions in gynocological (GYN) brachytherapy implants using EBT GafChromic film. Materials and Methods: This phantom has been designed and fabricated from 90 sla...
متن کاملSimplified “on‐couch” daily quality assurance procedure for CT simulators
For most computed tomography (CT) simulators, radiation therapists must remove the flat couch top to perform daily CT quality assurance (QA), and then use separate tools to perform localization-laser QA. This process wastes time and effort and creates the opportunity for accidents to occur. In this study, we tested a simple yet comprehensive daily QA program and phantom that we designed for CT ...
