Quality assurance evaluation of delivery of respiratory‐gated treatments
We describe a method for evaluating the quality of respiratory-gated radiation delivery using a commercially available device. During irradiation, gating traces for one field for each treatment were extracted from the system for each of 14 patients. The data were then transferred to a spreadsheet. Software was developed to evaluate the following parameters: duty cycle, amplitude of fiducial mot...
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 کاملA New Quality Control System for Detecting Defects in Proton Range Modifiers for Proton Therapy
A NEW QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM FOR DETECTING DEFECTS IN PROTON RANGE MODIFIERS FOR PROTON THERAPY Brad Kreydick, B.S. Department of Physics Northern Illinois University, 2013 George Coutrakon, Ph.D., Director Proton beam radiotherapy is an increasingly common and accepted form of cancer treatment, which utilizes the novel energy-deposition characteristics of heavy, charged particles to destroy tu...
متن کاملDose for Proton Irradiation
With the increase in the amount of time spent EVA that is necessary to complete the construction and subsequent maintenance of ISS, it will become increasingly important for ground support personnel to accurately characterize the radiation exposures incurred by EVA crewmembers. Since exposure measurements cannot be taken within the organs of interest, it is necessary to estimate these exposures...
متن کاملCommissioning and quality assurance of Dynamic WaveArc irradiation
A novel three-dimensional unicursal irradiation technique "Dynamic WaveArc" (DWA), which employs simultaneous and continuous gantry and O-ring rotation during dose delivery, has been implemented in Vero4DRT. The purposes of this study were to develop a commissioning and quality assurance procedure for DWA irradiation, and to assess the accuracy of the mechanical motion and dosimetric control of...
