Magnetic resonance in polymer gel dosimetry: techniques and optimization
1. Introduction Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can non-invasively and non-destructively probe the magnetization of hydrogen atoms on water molecules in large objects with a high spatial resolution, and in three dimensions. This unique combination of properties is exploited in polymer gel dosimetry since original gel dosimeters, in which viscosity changes were measured and related to the absor...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Elastography of Polymer Gel Dosimetry Phantoms
Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging dependent polymer gel dosimetry is a technique that offers unique advantages for implementing increasingly complex radiotherapy procedures, due to the high spatial resolution and volumetric dosimetry capabilities. The technique involves the estimation of radiation dose distribution based on the changes in MR relaxation parameters caused by radiation indu...
متن کاملMagnetic-Resonance-Imaging based Polymer Gel Dosimetry: Methodology, Spatial Resolution, Applications
Modern radiation techniques aim on improved 3-dimensional (3D) spatial selectivity of the dose application sparing dose from organs-at-risk (e.g. IMRT with micro-multileaf collimation, γ-knife-, Brachyand heavy-ion therapy). The corresponding 3D-dose distributions exhibit high dose gradients above 4 Gy/mm, which are difficult to be investigated using standard single-point dosimetric detectors ...
متن کاملUncertainty Analysis in MRI-based Polymer Gel Dosimetry
Background: Polymer gel dosimeters combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used for dose verification of advanced radiation therapy techniques. However, the uncertainty of dose map measured by gel dosimeter should be known. The purpose of this study is to investigate the uncertainty related to calibration curve and MRI protocol for MAGIC (Methacrylic and Ascorbic acid in Gelatin I...
