Methodology of true pulmonary blood volume determination.
THE pulmonary blood volume may be defined as the volume of blood interposed between the pulmonary artery, at the pulmonary valve, and the left atrium. The volume has been measured either on a relative or on an absolute basis, that is, by measurement of changes in pulmonary blood volume or by determination of the actual volume. The former method includes determination of lung volumes, or of pulm...
متن کاملA Varian DynaLog file‐based procedure for patient dose‐volume histogram‐based IMRT QA
In the present study, we describe a method based on the analysis of the dynamic MLC log files (DynaLog) generated by the controller of a Varian linear accelerator in order to perform patient-specific IMRT QA. The DynaLog files of a Varian Millennium MLC, recorded during an IMRT treatment, can be processed using a MATLAB-based code in order to generate the actual fluence for each beam and so rec...
متن کاملFractional labelmaps for computing accurate dose volume histograms
PURPOSE: In radiation therapy treatment planning systems, structures are represented as parallel 2D contours. For treatment planning algorithms, structures must be converted into labelmap (i.e. 3D image denoting structure inside/outside) representations. This is often done by triangulated a surface from contours, which is converted into a binary labelmap. This surface to binary labelmap convers...
متن کاملConfidence limits for patient‐specific IMRT dose QA: a multi‐institutional study in Korea
This study aims to investigate tolerance levels for patient-specific IMRT dose QA (DQA) using the confidence limits (CL) determined by a multi-institutional study. Eleven institutions participated in the multi-institutional study in Korea. A total of 155 DQA measurements, consisting of point-dose differences (high- and low-dose regions) and gamma passing rates (composite and per-field) for IMRT...
متن کاملReproducibility in patient‐specific IMRT QA
The purpose of this study was to determine the reproducibility of patient-specific, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) quality assurance (QA) results in a clinical setting. Six clinical patient plans were delivered to a variety of devices and analyses, including 1) radiographic film; 2) ion chamber; 3) 2D diode array delivered and analyzed in three different configurations (AP deliver...
