A novel phantom design for brachytherapy quality assurance

Background: One major challenge in brachytherapy is to verify the accuracy of dose distributions calculated by the treatment planning system. In this project, a new phantom design has been introduced for quality assurance of dose distributions in gynocological (GYN) brachytherapy implants using EBT GafChromic film. Materials and Methods: This phantom has been designed and fabricated from 90 sla...

Quality assurance in mammography: College of Radiology Survey in Malaysia.

Malaysia's mammography QA practice was surveyed based on the Malaysian Ministry of Health and the American College of Radiology (ACR) requirements. Data on mammography unit, processor, image receptor, exposure factors, mean glandular dose (MGD), sensitometry, image quality and viewbox luminance were obtained. Mean developer temperature and cycle time were 34.1 +/- 1.8degreesC and 107.7 +/- 33.2...
