Dosimetric verification of pre-treatment intensity modulated radiation therapy in the commissioning process
Background: Commissioning tests are recommended before implementing Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy. This study evaluated five different plans of IMRT mocks for different modulation indices. Materials and Methods: IMRT tests were done in slab phantom for both 6MV and 15 MV photon energies using a 2D array ion chamber dosimeter. Results: The acceptance criteria were based on 3% /3mm. All t...
متن کاملPatient Specific IMRT Pre-Treatment Verification Using A Commercial Portal Dosimetry Software
Introduction: Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) are extensively used for dosimetric information of pre-treatment field verification and in-vivo dosimetry for Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT). In the present work, we have implemented the newly developed portal dosimetry software using independent dose prediction algorithm EPIDose and evaluated this new tool for the pretreatment IM...
متن کاملValidation and application of polymer gel dosimetry for the dose verification of an intensity-modulated arc therapy (IMAT) treatment.
Polymer gel dosimetry was used to assess an intensity-modulated arc therapy (IMAT) treatment for whole abdominopelvic radiotherapy. Prior to the actual dosimetry experiment, a uniformity study on an unirradiated anthropomorphic phantom was carried out. A correction was performed to minimize deviations in the R2 maps due to radiofrequency non-uniformities. In addition, compensation strategies we...
متن کاملA 2-D diode array and analysis software for verification of intensity modulated radiation therapy delivery.
An analysis is made of a two-dimensional array of diodes that can be used for measuring dose generated in a plane by a radiation beam. This measuring device is the MapCHECK Model 1175 (Sun Nuclear, Melbourne, FL). This device has 445 N-type diodes in a 22 x 22 cm2 2-D array with variable spacing. The entire array of diodes is easily calibrated to allow for measurements in absolute dose. For IMR...
متن کاملIntensity‐modulated radiation therapy dose verification using fluence and portal imaging device
Patient-specific quality assurance for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) dose verification is essential. The aim of this study is to provide a new method based on the relative error distribution by comparing the fluence map from the treatment planning system (TPS) and the incident fluence deconvolved from the electronic portal imaging device (EPID) images. This method is validated fo...
