ESTERR-PRO: A Setup Verification Software System Using Electronic Portal Imaging
The purpose of the paper is to present and evaluate the performance of a new software-based registration system for patient setup verification, during radiotherapy, using electronic portal images. The estimation of setup errors, using the proposed system, can be accomplished by means of two alternate registration methods. (a) The portal image of the current fraction of the treatment is register...
متن کاملUtilization of Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) For Setup Verification and Determination of Setup Margin in Head and Neck Radiation Therapy
Introduction: Radiation therapy involves a multistep procedure; therefore, the error in patient set up is an inherent part of the treatment. Main purpose of this study was to determine the clinical target volume (CTV) to planning target volume (PTV) in head and neck cancer patients. Material and Methods: A total of 15 patients who had daily p...
متن کاملIMRT verification with a camera-based electronic portal imaging system.
An evaluation of the capabilities of a commercially available camera-based electronic portal imaging system for intensity-modulated radiotherapy verification is presented. Two modifications to the system are demonstrated which use a novel method to tag each image acquired with the delivered dose measured by the linac monitor chamber and reduce optical cross-talk in the imager. A detailed perfor...
متن کاملVerification of prostate treatment setup using computed radiography for portal imaging
A non-film-based system was used to obtain high quality portal film images. Digital portal images were obtained with a computed radiography (CR) system, in which the film is replaced with a photostimulable phosphor plate. Digital processing of portal images enhanced the display contrast using regional histogram equalization. The images were compared to images on radiographic film, exposed in th...
متن کاملPatient‐specific daily pretreatment setup protocol using electronic portal imaging for radiation therapy
The purpose of this study was to evaluate electronic portal imaging (EPI) as a means of identifying and correcting field displacement in patients with problematic external beam radiotherapy setups. Fourteen patients with problematic setups were identified for pretreatment daily EPI beam monitoring as part of a physician-directed therapist intervention protocol. Pretreatment EPIs were used to re...
