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 based in vivo dosimetry system: clinical experience and results
Mandatory in several countries, in vivo dosimetry has been recognized as one of the next milestones in radiation oncology. Our department has implemented clinically an EPID based in vivo dosimetry system, EPIgray, by DOSISOFT S.A., since 2006. An analysis of the measurements per linac and energy over a two-year period was performed, which included a more detailed examination per technique and t...
متن کاملEPID dosimetry for pretreatment quality assurance with two commercial systems
This study compares the EPID dosimetry algorithms of two commercial systems for pretreatment QA, and analyzes dosimetric measurements made with each system alongside the results obtained with a standard diode array. 126 IMRT fields are examined with both EPID dosimetry systems (EPIDose by Sun Nuclear Corporation, Melbourne FL, and Portal Dosimetry by Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto CA) and th...
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 ...
