Utilization of Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) For Setup Verification and Determination of Setup Margin in Head and Neck Radiation Therapy
Introduction: Radiation therapy involves a multistep procedure; therefore, the error in patient set up is an inherent part of the treatment. Main purpose of this study was to determine the clinical target volume (CTV) to planning target volume (PTV) in head and neck cancer patients. Material and Methods: A total of 15 patients who had daily p...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo simulation and dosimetric verification of physical wedges used in radiation therapy
Background: The presence of a wedge filter in the beam trajectory can modify the beam quality and cause some changes in the dosimetry parameters which are usually difficult to be measured directly and accurately. Material and Methods: In this study the MCNP-4C Monte Carlo code was used to simulate the 9 MV photon beam generated by a linear accelerator. Upon getting a good agreement bet...
متن کاملDesign and implementation of a head‐and‐neck phantom for system audit and verification of intensity‐modulated radiation therapy
The head and neck is a challenging anatomic site for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), requiring thorough testing of planning and treatment delivery systems. Ideally, the phantoms used should be anatomically realistic, have radiologic properties identical to those of the tissues concerned, and allow for the use of a variety of devices to verify dose and dose distribution in any targ...
متن کاملAssessment of secondary neutron dose due to dental restorations in head and neck radiation therapy
Introduction: One of scientific concern is increasing of unwanted neutron dose to the patient, in head and neck radiation therapy due to the presence of some isotopes in dental restorations and head of medical linac. The aim of this study is to measure the equivalent dose of thermal and fast neutron due to head of Siemens Primus Linac and a healthy tooth, Amalgam, Ni-Cr alloy a...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of Head and Neck Perspex Phantom for Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
The aims of this study are to design, construct and evaluate the applicability of a head and neck Perspex phantom for dosimetric verification of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) was used in this study. Consistency of the fabricated phantom readings was checked by multiple IMRT irradiations. The inter-fraction standard deviation among all TLDs’ me...
