Anthropomorphic breast phantoms for quality assurance and dose verification
An evaluation of two anthropomorphic breast phantoms, which have been designed for quality assurance and dose verification of radiotherapy treatment of breast cancer patients, is presented. These phantoms are identical in terms of their dimensions and shape, and composed of several layers of either Plastic Water or tissue-equivalent material. Both water- and tissue-equivalent phantoms include l...
متن کاملQuality Assurance / Phantoms
Gamma index pass rates were evaluated for an anthropomorphic phantom using both 2D and 3D calculations. The phantom was irradiated with the traditional dosimetry insert loaded with radiochromic film and TLD, and then with a 3D dosimetry insert. A comparison with the calculated dose distribution showed that both the PRESAGE® dosimeter and the film and TLD system agreed with the plan to within 5%...
متن کاملDesign, development, and implementation of the radiological physics center's pelvis and thorax anthropomorphic quality assurance phantoms.
The Radiological Physics Center (RPC) developed two heterogeneous anthropomorphic quality assurance phantoms for use in verifying the accuracy of radiation delivery: one for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to the pelvis and the other for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to the thorax. The purpose of this study was to describe the design and development of these two phanto...
متن کاملQuality Assurance, Accuracy, Precision and Phantoms
When an instrument such as an MRI scanner is installed and handed over to the user, a series of acceptance tests is often carried out by the customer (Och et al., 1992; McRobbie and Quest, 2002; Och et al., 1992). The vendor’s installation engineer will also have carried out extensive testing, according to the manufacturer’s protocols, using phantoms (test objects), to ensure the instrument is ...
