Organ-specific SPECT activity calibration using 3D printed phantoms for molecular radiotherapy dosimetry
BACKGROUND Patient-specific absorbed dose calculations for molecular radiotherapy require accurate activity quantification. This is commonly derived from Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging using a calibration factor relating detected counts to known activity in a phantom insert. METHODS A series of phantom inserts, based on the mathematical models underlying many clini...
متن کاملIntroducing a bony composite as tissue equivalent for radiotherapy phantoms
The use of a device that simulates the actual condition, as well as being equivalent to the human body in materials and tissues, and having the capability of acting like internal motions of human body is necessary to investigate and simulate the motion of a tumor in radiotherapy and to evaluate dosimetrical coverage of the dynamic target. This device which is called the dynamic phantom should s...
متن کاملBreast dosimetry using high-resolution voxel phantoms.
A computer model of X-ray mammography has been developed, which uses quasi-realistic high-resolution voxel phantoms to simulate the breast. The phantoms have 400 microm voxels and simulate the three-dimensional distributions of adipose and fibro-glandular tissues, Cooper's ligaments, ducts and skin and allow the estimation of dose to individual tissues. Calculations of the incident air kerma to...
متن کاملQA networks for radiotherapy dosimetry
Several national and international organizations have developed various types and levels of external audits for radiotherapy dosimetry, either based on on-site review visits or using mailed dosimetry systems. Three major TLD (thermoluminescent dosimetry) networks make available postal dose audits to a large number of radiotherapy centres on a regular basis. These are the IAEA/WHO TLD postal dos...
متن کاملRadiochromic film dosimetry in water phantoms.
Radiochromic film is investigated for use in dosimetry in water phantoms as opposed to solid phantoms. Investigations are performed to measure the penetration rates of water into radiochromic film and to assess the effects on optical density that this penetration causes. The effects of film orientation during irradiation in water are also tested. Results show that only a small penetration rate ...
