Accuracy of the dose delivery in prostate cancer patients-using an electronic portal imaging device (EPID)
Background: To correct patient positioning errors (setup errors) during prostate cancer treatment using EPID and fiducial gold markers, to improve the accuracy of the dose delivery in these patients. Materials and Methods: Fifteen patients with localized prostate carcinoma after implantation of fiducial gold markers in their prostate gland underwent the five-field IMRT planning technique. The p...

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 کاملA quality assurance program for an amorphous silicon electronic portal imaging device using in-house developed phantoms: a method development for dosimetry purposes
Background: Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) play an important role in radiation therapy portal imaging, geometric and dosimetric verifications. A successful utilization of EPIDs for imaging and dosimetric purposes requires a reliable quality control process routine to be carried out regularly. In this study, two in-house phantoms were developed and analyzed for implementation in a qua...
متن کاملTwin machines validation for VMAT treatments using electronic portal-imaging device: a multicenter study
PURPOSE To verify the accuracy of volumetric arc therapy (VMAT) using the RapidArc™ device when switching patients from one single linear accelerator (linac) to a paired energy and mechanics "twin" linac without reoptimization of the original treatment plan. PATIENTS AND METHODS Four centers using 8 linacs were involved in this study. Seventy-four patients previously treated with the 6MV phot...
