Clinical implementation and evaluation of the Acuros dose calculation algorithm
PURPOSE The main aim of this study is to validate the Acuros XB dose calculation algorithm for a Varian Clinac iX linac in our clinics, and subsequently compare it with the wildely used AAA algorithm. METHODS AND MATERIALS The source models for both Acuros XB and AAA were configured by importing the same measured beam data into Eclipse treatment planning system. Both algorithms were validated...
متن کاملHigh dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy quality assurance: a practical guide
The widespread adoption of high dose rate brachytherapy with its inherent dangers necessitates adoption of appropriate quality assurance measures to minimize risks to both patients and medical staff. This paper is aimed at assisting someone who is establishing a new program or revising one already in place into adhere to the recently issued Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USA) regulations and th...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculation of shielded colpostat effect on rectum received dose in high dose rate brachytherapy with Cobalt-60 sources
Background: In the current study the effect of shielded colpostat on rectum received dose was calculated in cervical brachytherapy using Monte Carlo (MC) method. Materials and Methods: Two 60Co sources of GZP6 brachytherapy unit used for intracavitary treatments were simulated using MCNPX Monte Carlo code. Also the two types of colpostats including shielded and unshielded were simulated inside ...
متن کاملAutomated calculation of point A coordinates for CT-based high-dose-rate brachytherapy of cervical cancer
PURPOSE The goal is to develop a stand-alone application, which automatically and consistently computes the coordinates of the dose calculation point recommended by the American Brachytherapy Society (i.e., point A) based solely on the implanted applicator geometry for cervical cancer brachytherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS The application calculates point A coordinates from the source dwell geom...
متن کاملCT - guided high dose rate brachytherapy ablation of liver metastases
383 ISSN 1755-5191 10.2217/IIM.13.41 © 2013 Future Medicine Ltd Imaging Med. (2013) 5(4), 383–388 Over the past two decades, several methods for minimally invasive tumor ablation have been developed and tested clinically. CT-guided high dose rate brachytherapy is an alternative radioablative technique that was introduced in clinical practice as a minimally treatment option almost 20 years ago w...
