High resolution gel-dosimetry by optical-CT and MR scanning.

The increased intricacy of Intensity-Modulated-Radiation-Therapy (IMRT) delivery has created the need for a high-resolution 3D-dosimetry (three-dimensional) system capable of measuring and verifying the complex delivery. Present clinical methods are inadequate being restricted to single points (e.g., ion-chambers) or to 2D planes (e.g., film), and are labor intensive. In this paper we show that...

Designing and developing an in-house CCD based optical CT scanner for gel dosimetry

Introduction: Measurement of the complex 3D radiation dose distribution created with advanced radiotherapy techniques such as IMRT and SRS became very important. Polymer gel dosimetry (PGD) is proposed method to recording this dose distribution. MRI, X-ray CT, ultrasound, spectrophotometry and optical CT scanners can be used for readout of Polymer gel dosimeters. Although MRI i...

3D dosimetry by optical-CT scanning.

The need for an accurate, practical, low-cost 3D dosimetry system is becoming ever more critical as modern dose delivery techniques increase in complexity and sophistication. A recent report from the Radiological Physics Center (RPC) (1), revealed that 38% of institutions failed the head-and-neck IMRT phantom credentialing test at the first attempt. This was despite generous passing criteria (w...

Application of Optical CT Scanning in Three-Dimensional Radiation Dosimetry

There has been much research effort in the development of an accurate and reliable threedimensional dose verification system, prompted by the advances of technologies in radiation treatment of cancer patients. New radiotherapy techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy are aimed at dose deliveries that ...
