Investigation of error detection capabilities of phantom, EPID and MLC log file based IMRT QA methods
A patient specific quality assurance (QA) should detect errors that originate anywhere in the treatment planning process. However, the increasing complexity of treatment plans has increased the need for improvements in the accuracy of the patient specific pretreatment verification process. This has led to the utilization of higher resolution QA methods such as the electronic portal imaging devi...
متن کاملinvestigation of single-user and multi-user detection methods in mc-cdma systems and comparison of their performances
در این پایان نامه به بررسی روش های آشکارسازی در سیستم های mc-cdma می پردازیم. با توجه به ماهیت آشکارسازی در این سیستم ها، تکنیک های آشکارسازی را می توان به دو دسته ی اصلی تقسیم نمود: آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی یک کاربر مطلوب بدون در نظر گرفتن اطلاعاتی در مورد سایر کاربران تداخل کننده که از آن ها به عنوان آشکارساز های تک کاربره یاد می شود و همچنین آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی همه ی کاربران فعال موجود در...
Anatomy‐based, patient‐specific VMAT QA using EPID or MLC log files
In this project, we investigated the use of an electronic portal imaging device (EPID), together with the treatment planning system (TPS) and MLC log files, to determine the delivered doses to the patient and evaluate the agreement between the treatment plan and the delivered dose distribution. The QA analysis results are presented for 15 VMAT patients using the EPID measurements, the ScandiDos...
متن کاملEstablishing action levels for EPID‐based QA for IMRT
Although portal dosimetry is used to provide quality assurance (QA) for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment plans, trends in agreement between the portal dose prediction (PDP) and the measured dose have not been clarified. In this work, we evaluated three scalar parameters of agreement for 152 treatment plans (1152 treatment fields): maximum gamma (gamma max), average gamma (...
متن کاملCorrelation of phantom‐based and log file patient‐specific QA with complexity scores for VMAT
The motivation for this study was to reduce physics workload relating to patient- specific quality assurance (QA). VMAT plan delivery accuracy was determined from analysis of pre- and on-treatment trajectory log files and phantom-based ionization chamber array measurements. The correlation in this combination of measurements for patient-specific QA was investigated. The relationship between del...
