Camera‐based independent couch height verification in radiation oncology
For specific radiation therapy (RT) treatments, it is advantageous to use the isocenter-to-couch distance (ICD) for initial patient setup.(1) Since sagging of the treatment couch is not properly taken into account by the electronic readout of the treatment machine, this readout cannot be used for initial patient positioning using the isocenter-to-couch distance (ICD). Therefore, initial patient...
متن کاملCamera based EPID dosimetric verification of radiation treatments
Introduction: Tumor control and treatment quality depend on accuracy of delivered dose. Various methods have been studied for treatment dosimetry verification. Among these methods, the use of electronic portal imaging device (EPID) is highly considered. Many efforts are underway to improve the results of this context. Materials and Methods: In this study, ...
متن کاملImpact of radiation attenuation by a carbon fiber couch on patient dose verification
The aim of this study was to understand the difference between the measured and calculated irradiation attenuations obtained using two algorithms and to identify the influence of couch attenuation on patient dose verification. We performed eight tests of couch attenuation with two photon energies, two longitudinal couch positions, and two rail positions. The couch attenuation was determined usi...
متن کاملCamera-Based ID Verification by Signature Tracking
A number of vision-based biometric techniques have been proposed in the past for personal identiication. We present a novel one based on visual capturing of signatures. This paper describes a system based on correlation and recursive prediction methods that can track the tip of the pen in real time, with suucient spatio-temporal resolution and accuracy to enable signature veriication. Several e...
متن کاملHazards and risks in oncology: radiation oncology
Adverse effects and hazards which have their origin from radiation using conventional techniques like 3-D conformal radiotherapy and total radiation doses are well known. However little is known about the sprectum of especially late toxicity after radiation using new technologies like intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) combined with novel target volume and dose concepts. Since IMRT allows ...
