Intensity‐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...
متن کاملFLUENCE MAP OPTIMIZATION IN INTENSITY MODULATED RADIATION THERAPY FOR FUZZY TARGET DOSE
Although many methods exist for intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) fluence map optimization for crisp data, based on clinical practice, some of the involved parameters are fuzzy. In this paper, the best fluence maps for an IMRT procedure were identifed as a solution of an optimization problem with a quadratic objective function, where the prescribed target dose vector was fuzzy. First, a d...
متن کاملA dose delivery verification method for conventional and intensity-modulated radiation therapy using measured field fluence distributions.
Treatment verification has been a weak link in external beam radiation therapy. As new and more complicated treatment techniques, such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), are implemented into clinical practice, verifying the accuracy of treatment delivery becomes increasingly important. Existing methods for treatment verification are highly labor intensive. We have developed a meth...
متن کاملDosimetric properties of an amorphous silicon electronic portal imaging device for verification of dynamic intensity modulated radiation therapy.
Dosimetric properties of an amorphous silicon electronic portal imaging device (EPID) for verification of dynamic intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) delivery were investigated. The EPID was utilized with continuous frame-averaging during the beam delivery. Properties studied included effect of buildup, dose linearity, field size response, sampling of rapid multileaf collimator (MLC) l...
