Experimental evaluation of midline dose calculation methods in In vivo dosimetry using anatomic thorax phantom
Background: In vivo dosimetry is a method for estimation of overall error in the delivered dose to the patients at the end of radiotherapy process. In this research, two methods for target dose calculation were evaluated on midline and central axis of photon beams in in vivo dosimetry of thorax fields. Materials and Methods: Entrance and exit doses for anterior and lateral fields of thorax were...
متن کاملVerification of dose calculation algorithms in a multi-layer heterogeneous phantom using films.
UNLABELLED The development of advanced radiation treatment techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric intensity modulated arc therapy (VMAT) require more accurate dose calculation algorithms within the treatment planning systems (TPS) considering that the human body is composed of tissues of widely differing radiological properties and the characteristics of ...
متن کاملStatistical uncertainty estimation in the calculation of the proton range in water phantom.
Introduction: GATE (Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission) is a Monte Carlo simulation platform developed by the OpenGATE collaboration since 2001 and first publicly released in 2004. In Geant4, each physics process is described by a model (several models are sometimes available for a given physics process) and a corresponding cross-section table. All Geant4 physics model...
متن کاملEvaluation of Dose Calculation Algorithms Accuracy for Eclipse, PCRT3D, and Monaco Treatment Planning Systems Using IAEA TPS commissioning tests in a Heterogeneous Phantom
Introduction: The accuracy of dose calculation algorithm (DCA) is highly considered in the radiotherapy sequences. This study aims at assessing the accuracy of five dose calculation algorithms in tissue inhomogeneity corrections, based on the International Atomic Energy Agency TEC-DOC 1583. Material and Methods: A heterogeneous phantom was sc...
