چکیده

Abstract In the clinic, routine quality assurance tests ensure proper functioning of each individual aspect a radiation therapy treatment delivery. However, these may not guarantee an accurate this work, we present design and application head phantom (using 3D printing technology) developed for end-to-end stereotactic brain metastases, coupled with inserts ion chamber, film gel dosimeters. The was subjected to entire clinical workflow, stage process being performed by appropriate personnel that test mimics scenario.

Comprehensive end-to-end test for intensity-modulated radiation therapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma using an anthropomorphic phantom and EBT3 film

Background: In head and neck radiotherapy, immobilization devices can affect dose delivery. In this study, a comprehensive end-to-end test was developed to evaluate the accuracy of radiotherapy treatment. Materials and Methods: An Alderson Radiation Therapy (ART) anthropomorphic phantom with EBT3 film was used to mimic the actual patient treatment process. Ten patients treated for nasopharyngea...

Design of an Anthropomorphic Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy Quality Assurance Phantom

The dynamic nature of IMRT delivery poses unique problems relating to the accurate and reproducible quality assurance of dose delivery. The usefulness of point detectors is limited to static fields and regions within low dose-gradients for treatment verification. However, dose distributions generated in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) often have complex shapes with high dose gradie...

Design, Construction and Evaluation of an Anthropomorphic Head Phantom for Assessment of Image Distortion in Stereotactic Radiosurgery Planning Systems

Introduction: In recent years, the use of magnetic resonance (MR) images in radiation treatment planning has drawn considerable attention. However, although the extent of a tumor can be determined in great detail on MR images, the geometric accuracy of these images is limited by distortions stemming from the inhomogeneity of the static background magnetic field, the nonlineari...

End-to-End Assurance

In a recent change of Ministry of Defence policy, endorsed by the Second Permanent UnderSecretary and soon to be published in JSP 815 (ref. 1), the Department’s Functional Safety Boards have been asked to take on a new remit: providing End-to-End assurance of safety. But what does this mean? And how will it affect day-to-day business in the Department? This paper describes the Ship Safety Board...
