SU-E-T-132: Investigation of Photon and Proton Overlapping Fields in PRESAGE- Dosimeters.
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of overlapping dose volumes for varying field arrangements in two formulations of PRESAGE®: one intended for, and irradiated with, proton beams and the other photon beams. METHODS For each treatment modality (photon, proton), three overlapping field setups were performed. These included a stationary dosimeter irradiated over six fractions, a dosimeter shifted l...
متن کامل3D dosimetry by optical-CT scanning.
The need for an accurate, practical, low-cost 3D dosimetry system is becoming ever more critical as modern dose delivery techniques increase in complexity and sophistication. A recent report from the Radiological Physics Center (RPC) (1), revealed that 38% of institutions failed the head-and-neck IMRT phantom credentialing test at the first attempt. This was despite generous passing criteria (w...
متن کاملComputational simulations of the influence of angular rotation deviations in optical CT imaging of gel dosimeters
Two types of angular rotation deviations are observed in our optical CT scanner for gel dosimetry: a large deviation at the starting position, and small deviations during the scanning. In order to investigate the influence of these angular rotation deviations on the reconstructed OD maps, we applied the angular deviations on a synthetic phantom for optical CT simulation. Meanwhile, three recons...
متن کاملIssues involved in the quantitative 3D imaging of proton doses using optical CT and chemical dosimeters
Dosimetry of proton beams using 3D imaging of chemical dosimeters is complicated by a variation with proton linear energy transfer (LET) of the dose-response (the so-called 'quenching effect'). Simple theoretical arguments lead to the conclusion that the total absorbed dose from multiple irradiations with different LETs cannot be uniquely determined from post-irradiation imaging measurements on...
متن کاملApplication of Optical CT Scanning in Three-Dimensional Radiation Dosimetry
There has been much research effort in the development of an accurate and reliable threedimensional dose verification system, prompted by the advances of technologies in radiation treatment of cancer patients. New radiotherapy techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy are aimed at dose deliveries that ...
