Depth dose perturbation by a hydrogel fiducial marker in a proton beam
The purpose of this study was to evaluate proton depth dose perturbation caused by a radio-opaque hydrogel fiducial marker. Electronic proton stopping powers in the hydrogel were calculated for energies 0.5-250 MeV, and Monte Carlo simulations were generated of hydrogel vs. gold markers placed at various water phantom depths in a generic proton beam. Across the studied energy range, the gel/wat...
متن کاملDose perturbation effect of metallic spinal implants in proton beam therapy
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dose perturbations for two metallic spinal screw implants in proton beam therapy in the perpendicular and parallel beam geometry. A 5.5 mm (diameter) by 45 mm (length) stainless steel (SS) screw and a 5.5 mm by 35 mm titanium (Ti) screw commonly used for spinal fixation were CT-scanned in a hybrid phantom of water and solid water. The C...
متن کاملSTag: A Stable Fiducial Marker System
In this paper, we propose STag, a fiducial marker system that provides stable pose estimation. The outer square border of the marker is used for detection and pose estimation. This is followed by a novel pose refinement step using the inner circular border. The refined pose is more stable and robust across viewing conditions compared to the state of the art. In addition, the lexicographic gener...
متن کاملRadiographic film dosimetry of proton beams for depth‐dose constancy check and beam profile measurement
Radiographic film dosimetry suffers from its energy dependence in proton dosimetry. This study sought to develop a method of measuring proton beams by the film and to evaluate film response to proton beams for the constancy check of depth dose (DD). It also evaluated the film for profile measurements. To achieve this goal, from DDs measured by film and ion chamber (IC), calibration factors (rat...
متن کاملElectron beam central axis depth dose measurements.
Central axis depth dose measurements were made by the Radiological Physics Center on over 70 electron-producing machines used in radiation therapy. These data were consistent for each machine model and nominal energy. However, the data show that depth dose relations can vary significantly among different machine models for electron beams having the same nominal energy. Analysis shows that both ...
