Skin in vivo Dosimetry in Radiotherapy
Introduction: Due to the prevalence of skin problems in patients after radiotherapy, skin dose measuring is importance. Content: Skin in vivo dosimetry means measuring the patient's (or phantom) skin dose during radiotherapy. According to the ICRP 59, the dose at the depth of 0.07 mm is known as a skin dose. The most radiosensitive epidermis cells are located...
متن کاملImplementation of an intraoperative electron radiotherapy in vivo dosimetry program
BACKGROUND Intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) is a highly selective radiotherapy technique which aims to treat restricted anatomic volumes during oncological surgery and is now the subject of intense re-evaluation. In vivo dosimetry has been recommended for IOERT and has been identified as a risk-reduction intervention in the context of an IOERT risk analysis. Despite reports of fruit...
متن کاملIn vivo prostate IMRT dosimetry with MOSFET detectors using brass buildup caps
The feasibility of using dual bias metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFET) detectors with the new hemispherical brass build up cap for in vivo dose measurements in Prostate IMRT treatments was investigated and achieved. A general formalism with various correction factors taken into account to predict Dmax entrance skin dose for the IMRT fields with MOSFETS was developed and ...
متن کاملAchievable accuracy in brain tumors by in vivo dosimetry with diode detectors
ABSTRACT Background: In vivo measurements of applied dose during radiotherapy treatment, is important to ensure accurate dose delivery to patients. Uncertainty in dose delivery should fall within ±5% of the prescribed dose as recommended by ICRU. Assessment of dose for radiotherapy applications performed with various types of detectors. In this study, semiconductor diodes were used which have s...
متن کاملIn vivo dosimetry using a single diode for megavoltage photon beam radiotherapy: Implementation and response characterization
The AAPM Task Group 40 reported that in vivo dosimetry can be used to identify major deviations in treatment delivery in radiation therapy. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of using one single diode to perform in vivo dosimetry in the entire radiotherapeutic energy range regardless of its intrinsic buildup material. The only requirement on diode selection would be to choose a diode...
