Dose Calculation Accuracy of AAA and AcurosXB Algorithms for Small Central and Interface Lung Lesions - Verification with Gafchromic Film Dosimetry
Dose calculation for small field radiotherapy with heterogeneity often involves discrepancies, so that algorithms used by treatment planning systems (TPS) should be evaluated with reference to achieving optimal treatment results. Accuracy of two model based algorithms, AcurosXB (AcXB) and the analytical anisotropic algorithm (AAA) from Eclipse TPS, were here tested. Measurements are made using ...
متن کاملDose calculations accuracy of TiGRT treatment planning system for small IMRT beamlets in heterogeneous lung phantom
Background: Accurate dose calculations in small beamlets and lung material have been a great challenge for most of treatment planning systems (TPS). In the current study, the dose calculation accuracy of TiGRT TPS was evaluated for small beamlets in water and lung phantom by comparison to Monte Carlo (MC) calculations. Materials and Methods: The head of Siemens Oncor-impression linac...
متن کاملGafchromic EBT‐XD film: Dosimetry characterization in high‐dose, volumetric‐modulated arc therapy
Radiochromic films are important tools for assessing complex dose distributions. Gafchromic EBT-XD films have been designed for optimal performance in the 40-4,000 cGy dose range. We investigated the dosimetric characteristics of these films, including their dose-response, postexposure density growth, and dependence on scanner orientation, beam energy, and dose rate with applications to high-do...
متن کاملComparison of Electron-Beam Dose Distributions in a Heterogeneous Phantom Obtained Using Radiochromic Film Dosimetry and Monte Carlo Simulation
Introduction: Nowadays new radiochromic films have an essential role in radiotherapy dosimetry. Properties such as high sensitivity, good reproducibility, high spatial resolution, easy readout and portability have made them attractive for dosimetry, especially in high-dose-gradient regions. Material and Methods: In this study, electron-beam dose distributions in homogenous and heterogeneous pha...
متن کاملDose verification of radiotherapy for lung cancer by using plastic scintillator dosimetry and a heterogeneous phantom
Bone, air passages, cavities, and lung are elements present in patients, but challenging to properly correct for in treatment planning dose calculations. Plastic scintillator detectors (PSDs) have proven to be well suited for dosimetry in non-reference conditions such as small fields. The objective of this study was to investigate the performance of a commercial treatment planning system (TPS) ...
