Breaking bad IMRT QA practice
Agreement between planned and delivered dose distributions for patient-specific quality assurance in routine clinical practice is predominantly assessed utilizing the gamma index method. Several reports, however, fundamentally question current IMRT QA practice due to poor sensitivity and specificity of the standard gamma index implementation. An alternative is to employ dose volume histogram (D...
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...
متن کاملCystoscopy Image Classication Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
In the past three decades, the use of smart methods in medical diagnostic systems has attractedthe attention of many researchers. However, no smart activity has been provided in the eld ofmedical image processing for diagnosis of bladder cancer through cystoscopy images despite the highprevalence in the world. In this paper, two well-known convolutional neural networks (CNNs) ...
متن کاملA survey on planar IMRT QA analysis
Quality assurance (QA) systems for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) have become standard tools in modern clinical medical physics departments. However, because formalized industry standards or recommendations from professional societies have yet to be defined, methods of IMRT QA analysis vary from institution to institution. Understanding where matters stand today is an important st...
متن کاملImage processing for IMRT QA dosimetry
We have automated the determination of the placement location of the dosimetry ion chamber within intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) fields, as part of streamlining the entire IMRT quality assurance process. This paper describes the mathematical image-processing techniques to arrive at the appropriate measurement locations within the planar dose maps of the IMRT fields. A specific spot wit...
