Verification of lung dose in an anthropomorphic phantom calculated by the collapsed cone convolution method.
Verification of calculated lung dose in an anthropomorphic phantom is performed using two dosimetry media. Dosimetry is complicated by factors such as variations in density at slice interfaces and appropriate position on CT scanning slice to accommodate these factors. Dose in lung for a 6 MV and 10 MV anterior-posterior field was calculated with a collapsed cone convolution method using an ADAC...
متن کاملAssessment of a 2D EPID-based Dosimetry Algorithm for Pre-treatment and In-vivo Midplane Dose Verification
Introduction: The use of electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) is a method for the dosimetric verification of radiotherapy plans both pretreatment and in-vivo. The aim of this study was to test a 2D EPID-based dosimetry algorithm for dose verification of some plans inside a homogenous and anthropomorphic phantom and in-vivo, as well. Materials and Methods: </strong...
متن کاملExperimental validation of a kV source model and dose computation method for CBCT imaging in an anthropomorphic phantom
We present an experimental validation of a kilovoltage (kV) X-ray source characterization model in an anthropomorphic phantom to estimate patient-specific absorbed dose from kV cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging procedures and compare these doses to nominal weighted CT-dose index (CTDIw) dose estimates. We simulated the default Varian on-board imager 1.4 (OBI) default CBCT imaging pro...
متن کاملMonitor unit calculation for tangential breast treatments: Verification in an anthropomorphic phantom
This paper presents an anthropomorphic phantom study of dose delivered to a specific point during tangential breast irradiation to verify monitor unit calculations. Measurements were made using a 0.6 cc Farmer type cylindrical ionization chamber in the phantom and compared to calculations made on a three-dimensional radiotherapy treatment planning system using single digitized contour through t...
متن کاملMonte Carlo and experimental relative dose determination for an Iridium-192 source in water phantom
Background: Monte Carlo and experimental relative dose determination in a water phantom, due to a high dose rate (HDR) 192Ir source is presented for real energy spectrum and monochromatic at 356 keV. Materials and Methods: The dose distribution has been calculated around the 192Ir located in the center of 30 cm ×30 cm ×30 cm water phantom using MCNP4C code by Monte Carlo method. Relati...
