In vivo dose verification using using an amorphous silicon flat panel-type imager (a-Si EPIDs)
Introduction: Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) could be used to dose verification of radiotherapy treatment plans. In vivo dose verification is performed to reduce differences found between dose delivered to the patient and the prescribed dose. The aim of this study was to perform a fast and efficient technique for the verification of delivered dose to the patient usin...
متن کاملAmorphous Silicon Flat Panel Imagers for Medical Application
A new gamma camera based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) pixel arrays to be used in nuclear medicine is introduced. Various performance characteristics of a-Si:H imagers are reviewed and compared with those of currently used equipment. An important component in the a-Si:H imager is the scintillator screen. A new approach for fabrication of high resolution CsI(Tl) scintillator layers,...
متن کاملCone-beam computed tomography with a flat-panel imager: magnitude and effects of x-ray scatter.
A system for cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) based on a flat-panel imager (FPI) is used to examine the magnitude and effects of x-ray scatter in FPI-CBCT volume reconstructions. The system is being developed for application in image-guided therapies and has previously demonstrated spatial resolution and soft-tissue visibility comparable or superior to a conventional CT scanner under condit...
متن کاملCone-Beam CT with a Flat-Panel Imager: Noise Considerations for Fully 3-D Computed Tomography
Application of flat-panel imagers (FPIs) in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) offers a promising new modality for fully three-dimensional (3-D) x-ray imaging. Understanding the potential performance and fundamental limitations of such technology, however, requires knowledge of the noise characteristics of the 3-D imaging system. The noise performance of a prototype flat-panel cone-beam CT (F...
متن کاملLag correction model and ghosting analysis for an indirect‐conversion flat‐panel imager
Cone-beam digital tomosynthesis (CBDT) is a new approach that was recently proposed for rapid tomographic imaging of soft-tissue targets in the radiotherapy treatment room. One of the potential problems in implementing CBDT using, for example, megavoltage (MV) X rays is the possibility of artifacts caused by image lag and ghosting of the X-ray detector used. In the present work, we developed a ...
