SU-E-T-182: Delivery Verification of Tomotherapy Treatments Using Exit Detector Sinograms: A Phantom Study.
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to use a liquid water female body phantom to investigate the feasibility of using helical Tomotherapy's exit detector data sinograms (EDDS) for quality assurance of Tomotherapy treatments. METHODS Delivery Verification software (DV-Tool), described by Kapatoes et al., uses EDDS and daily mega-voltage-CT images for delivery sinogram reconstruction and su...
متن کاملExit in duopoly under uncertainty
This paper examines a declining duopoly, where the firms must choose when to exit from the market. The uncertainty is modeled by letting the revenue stream follow a geometric Brownian motion. We consider the Markovperfect equilibrium in firms’ exit strategies. With a low degree of uncertainty there is a unique equilibrium, where one of the firms always exits before the other. However, when unce...
متن کاملLow-Dose-Area-Constrained Helical TomoTherapy-Based Whole Breast Radiotherapy and Dosimetric Comparison with Tangential Field-in-Field IMRT
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To present a novel helical TomoTherapy-based method for whole breast radiotherapy that has better dosimetry and also has acceptable low-dose regions for lungs, heart, and contralateral breast compared with tangential field-in-field IMRT (FIF-IMRT). MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten patients with left-side breast cancer were planned with low-dose-area-constrained helical TomoTher...
متن کاملJaw position uncertainty and adjacent fields in breast cancer radiotherapy
Locoregional treatment of breast cancer involves adjacent, half blocked fields matched at isocenter. The objective of this work is to study the dosimetric effects of the uncertainties in jaw positioning for such a case, and how a treatment planning protocol including adjacent field overlap of 1 mm affects the dose distribution. A representative treatment plan, involving 6 and 15 photon beams, f...
متن کاملStability of the Helical TomoTherapy Hi·Art II detector for treatment beam irradiations
The Hi·Art II Helical TomoTherapy (HT) unit is equipped with a built-in onboard MVCT detector used for patient imaging and beam monitoring. Our aim was to study the detector stability for treatment beam measurements. We studied the MVCT detector response with the 6 MV photon beam over time, throughout short-term (during an irradiation) and long-term (two times 50 days) periods. Our results show...
