Quality Assurance (QA) for Kilovoltage Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
Precise targeting of the tumor is very important and imaging can be immensely helpful in this process. Hence the quality assurance of the imaging systems used to guide the beam is also essential. One could argue that it is as critical as quality assurance for the radiation dose output, since the right amount of radiation dose delivered to the wrong location can be as detrimental as delivering t...
متن کاملGuidelines for establishing a quality improvement program in interventional radiology.
THE membership of the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) Standards of Practice Committee represents experts in a broad spectrum of interventional procedures from both the private and academic sectors of medicine. Generally Standards of Practice Committee members dedicate the vast majority of their professional time to performing interventional procedures; as such they represent a valid b...
متن کاملInfluence of acquisition parameters on MV‐CBCT image quality
The production of high quality pretreatment images plays an increasing role in image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and adaptive radiation therapy (ART). Megavoltage cone-beam computed tomography (MV-CBCT) is the simplest solution of all the commercially available volumetric imaging systems for localization. It also suffers the most from relatively poor contrast due to the energy range of the imagi...
متن کاملA Quantitative Evaluation of Image Segmentation Quality
Segmentation is often a procedure to group spatially adjacent image pixels into segments. Spatially adjacent pixels form one image segment if they meet some criteria, such as spectral similarity. A segmentation result may vary, depending on a given generalization level and other constraints such as compactness. In practice, the quality of a segmentation result is often assessed visually by the ...
متن کاملA positioning QA procedure for 2D/2D (kV/MV) and 3D/3D (CT/CBCT) image matching for radiotherapy patient setup
A positioning QA procedure for Varian's 2D/2D (kV/MV) and 3D/3D (planCT/CBCT) matching was developed. The procedure was to check: (1) the coincidence of on-board imager (OBI), portal imager (PI), and cone beam CT (CBCT)'s isocenters (digital graticules) to a linac's isocenter (to a pre-specified accuracy); (2) that the positioning difference detected by 2D/2D (kV/MV) and 3D/3D(planCT/CBCT) matc...
