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 کاملImage quality and radiation dose on digital chest imaging: comparison of amorphous silicon and amorphous selenium flat-panel systems.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the image quality and radiation dose in chest imaging using an amorphous silicon flat-panel detector system and an amorphous selenium flat-panel detector system. In addition, the low-contrast performance of both systems with standard and low radiation doses was compared. MATERIALS AND METHODS In two groups of 100 patients each, digital chest radi...
متن کاملAmorphous and Polycrystalline Photoconductors for Direct Conversion Flat Panel X-Ray Image Sensors
In the last ten to fifteen years there has been much research in using amorphous and polycrystalline semiconductors as x-ray photoconductors in various x-ray image sensor applications, most notably in flat panel x-ray imagers (FPXIs). We first outline the essential requirements for an ideal large area photoconductor for use in a FPXI, and discuss how some of the current amorphous and polycrysta...
