A New Method for Dosimetry and Image Quality Assurance
Introduction and purpose: The latest developments in breast imaging technology have underlined the need for appropriate dosimetry and image evaluation methods for routine quality assurance. We are presenting QUART evaluation method (phantom and dosimeter) to address this need for digital x-ray mammography and breast tomosynthesis systems. We compare our dose measurements to the dose readings fr...
متن کاملEPID dosimetry for pretreatment quality assurance with two commercial systems
This study compares the EPID dosimetry algorithms of two commercial systems for pretreatment QA, and analyzes dosimetric measurements made with each system alongside the results obtained with a standard diode array. 126 IMRT fields are examined with both EPID dosimetry systems (EPIDose by Sun Nuclear Corporation, Melbourne FL, and Portal Dosimetry by Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto CA) and th...
متن کاملQuality Assurance in Radiation Dosimetry: Achievements and Trends - NTR2009 Supplement
Dosimetry is the science of measuring radiation dosage. The absorbed dose of radiation is measured in a unit called “gray” (Gy). Radiation dosage measurements and ensuring they are as accurate as possible are important if the benefits of the application of nuclear technology in health care are to be harnessed. Radioactive processes and radiation are utilized in many health related technologies,...
متن کاملUncertainty in 3D gel dosimetry
Three-dimensional (3D) gel dosimetry has a unique role to play in safeguarding conformal radiotherapy treatments as the technique can cover the full treatment chain and provides the radiation oncologist with the integrated dose distribution in 3D. It can also be applied to benchmark new treatment strategies such as image guided and tracking radiotherapy techniques. A major obstacle that has hin...
متن کاملEvaluation of radiochromic gel dosimetry and polymer gel dosimetry in a clinical dose verification.
A quantitative comparison of two full three-dimensional (3D) gel dosimetry techniques was assessed in a clinical setting: radiochromic gel dosimetry with an in-house developed optical laser CT scanner and polymer gel dosimetry with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To benchmark both gel dosimeters, they were exposed to a 6 MV photon beam and the depth dose was compared against a diamond detecto...
