Dosimetric characterization and use of GAFCHROMIC EBT3 film for IMRT dose verification
Radiochromic film has become an important tool to verify dose distributions in highly conformal radiation therapy such as IMRT. Recently, a new generation of these films, EBT3, has become available. EBT3 has the same composition and thickness of the sensitive layer of the previous EBT2 films, but its symmetric layer configuration allows the user to eliminate side orientation dependence, which i...
متن کاملThe use of EBT3 film and Delta4 for the dosimetric verification of EclipseTM treatment planning system in a heterogeneous chest phantom: an IMRT technique
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the dose calculation accuracy of EclipseTM treatment planning system (TPS) in a heterogeneous chest phantom with the intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) technique using EBT3 film and Delta4. Materials and Methods: Two IMRT plans (A and B) were prepared for radiotherapy of the heterogeneous chest phantom. Plan A was between the left lung and the surro...
متن کاملComparison between different adaptive pre-equalization approaches for wireless LAN
The IEEE802.11a Wireless LAN standard defines a high system performance and therefor requires a certain signal accuracy for the OFDM transmitter output. Taking the potential analog low, medium IF and RF filter imperfections into account it is necessary to pre-equalize the signal stream digitally before transmitting. The paper will concentrate on the description and comparison between different ...
متن کاملClinical experience with EPID dosimetry for prostate IMRT pre-treatment dose verification.
The aim of this study was to demonstrate how dosimetry with an amorphous silicon electronic portal imaging device (a-Si EPID) replaced film and ionization chamber measurements for routine pre-treatment dosimetry in our clinic. Furthermore, we described how EPID dosimetry was used to solve a clinical problem. IMRT prostate plans were delivered to a homogeneous slab phantom. EPID transit images w...
متن کاملDosimetry limitations and pre-treatment dose profile correction for sliding window IMRT
Background: This work investigated the dosimetry limitations of the random and systematic uncertainties of sliding window (SW) intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Materials and Methods: A Varian 21EX linear accelerator, Pinnacle3 treatment planning system and radiographic film dosimetry was used. The limitations of the SW were studied using beam modulation ranging from 2 to 10...
