Gamma Dose Distribution Evaluation Tool
Quantitative comparisons of dose distributions are an integral component of a medical physicist’s responsibility of assuring high quality radiation therapy dose delivery. While overlays and other displays of multiple dose distributions are useful for such evaluations, quantitative evaluations require a mathematical comparison. The dose-difference is the most straightforward method for comparing...
متن کاملEvaluation of the gamma dose distribution comparison method.
The gamma tool was developed to quantitatively compare dose distributions, either measured or calculated. Before computing gamma, the dose and distance scales of the two distributions, referred to as evaluated and reference, are renormalized by dose and distance criteria, respectively. The renormalization allows the dose distribution comparison to be conducted simultaneously along dose and dist...
متن کامل[Evaluation of absorbed dose-distribution in the X-ray or gamma-irradiator for blood products].
Irradiation of blood products abrogates the proliferation of lymphocytes present in cellular component, which is currently the only accepted methodology to prevent transfusion-associated graft versus host disease (TA-GVHD). A range of irradiation dose levels between 15 Gy and 50 Gy is being used, but the majority of facilities are employing 15 Gy. It should, however, be recognized that the deli...
متن کاملDose distribution evaluation of various dose calculation algorithms in inhomogeneous media
Background: Dose calculation algorithms play a very important role in predicting the explicit dose distribution. We evaluated the percent depth dose (PDD), lateral depth dose profile, and surface dose volume histogram in inhomogeneous media using calculation algorithms and inhomogeneity correction methods. Materials and Methods: The homogeneous and inhomogeneous virtual slab phantoms used in th...
متن کاملEvaluation of Organ Specific peripheral dose for Gamma knife 4C based on Monte Carlo
Introduction: Stereotactic Gamma Knife radiosurgery has been widely used for treating brain tumors. The scattered radiation outside of treatment field (peripheral dose) can induce the secondary cancer to specific organ. This paper investigated the absorbed dose to eyes, thyroid, heart, lung, breast and colon using a Monte Carlo technique for Mird phantom. We also study the ef...
