EPID in vivo Dosimetry
Introduction: The most modern radiotherapy devices are equipped with an Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) system which is located on opposite side of the machine’s head. EPID system is often used to setting up the position verification during or between radiotherapy sessions. Material and Methods: Various types of dosimeters have been used to setting up ...
متن کاملEPID in vivo dosimetry in RapidArc technique.
AIM The aim of the study was to estimate the dose at the reference point applying an aSi-EPID device in the course of patient treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS The method assumes direct proportionality between EPID signal and dose delivered to the patient reference point during the treatment session. The procedure consists of treatment plan calculation for the actual patient in the arc techniq...
متن کاملBreast in vivo dosimetry by EPID
An electronic portal imaging device (EPID) is an effective detector for in vivo transit dosimetry. In fact, it supplies two-dimensional information, does not require special efforts to be used during patient treatment, and can supply data in real time. In the present paper, a new procedure has been proposed to improve the EPID in vivo dosimetry accuracy by taking into account the patient setup ...
متن کاملIn vivo dosimetry for prostate cancer patients using an electronic portal imaging device (EPID); demonstration of internal organ motion.
PURPOSE To investigate the use of a commercially available video-based EPID for in vivo dosimetry during treatment of prostate cancer patients. METHODS For 10 prostate cancer patients, the inter-fraction variation within measured portal dose images (PDIs) was assessed and measured PDIs were compared with corresponding predicted PDIs based on the planning CT scan of the patient. RESULTS For ...
متن کامل3D EPID-based in vivo dosimetry for IMRT and VMAT
In this paper the various approaches of EPID-based in vivo IMRT and VMAT dose verification, and their clinical implementation, are described. It will be shown that EPID-based in vivo dosimetry plays an important role in the total chain of verification procedures in a radiotherapy department. EPID-based dosimetry, in combination with in-room imaging, is a fast and accurate tool for 3D in vivo ve...
