The impact of MLC transmitted radiation on EPID dosimetry for dynamic MLC beams.
The purpose of this study was to experimentally quantify the change in response of an amorphous silicon (a-Si) electronic portal imaging device (EPID) to dynamic multileaf collimator (dMLC) beams with varying MLC-transmitted dose components and incorporate the response into a commercial treatment planning system (TPS) EPID prediction model. A combination of uniform intensity dMLC beams and stat...
متن کاملTreatment couch positioning uncertainties using an EPID-based method
Introduction: The accuracy of patient positioning plays an important role for radiotherapy tasks. Short and automated Quality Assurance (QA) programs are becoming one of the challenging tasks in Radiotherapy. The current study, investigates the accuracy of treatment couch positioning with four degrees of freedom (4DoF) using a fast and accurate method based on an image acquired...
متن کاملEPID‐based dosimetry to verify IMRT planar dose distribution for the aS1200 EPID and FFF beams
We proposed to perform a basic dosimetry commissioning on a new imager sys-tem, the Varian aS1200 electronic portal imaging device (EPID) and TrueBeam 2.0 linear accelerator for flattened (FF) and flattening filter-free (FFF) beams, then to develop an image-based quality assurance (QA) model for verification of the system delivery accuracy for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treat-...
متن کاملEvaluation of a fast method of EPID-based dosimetry for IMRT and Comparison with 3D EPID-based dosimetry system using conventional two- and three-dimensional detectors for VMAT
Introduction: Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) could potentially be useful for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and VMAT QA. The data density, high resolution, large active area, and efficiency of the MV EPID make it an attractive option. However, EPIDs were designed as imaging devices, not dosimeters, and as a result they do not inherently measure dose in ...
متن کاملEPID 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 ...
