Small field dose delivery evaluations using cone beam optical computed tomography-based polymer gel dosimetry
This paper explores the combination of cone beam optical computed tomography with an N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM)-based polymer gel dosimeter for three-dimensional dose imaging of small field deliveries. Initial investigations indicate that cone beam optical imaging of polymer gels is complicated by scattered stray light perturbation. This can lead to significant dosimetry failures in comparis...
متن کاملPediatric Phantom Dosimetry of Kodak 9000 Cone-beam Computed Tomography.
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to evaluate the radiation dose of the Kodak 9000 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) device for different anatomical areas using a pediatric phantom. METHODS Absorbed doses resulting from maxillary and mandibular region three by five cm CBCT volumes of an anthropomorphic 10-year-old child phantom were acquired using optical stimulated dosimetry. Equivalen...
متن کاملDosimetry of Critical Organs in Maxillofacial Imaging with Cone-beam Computed Tomography
Background: While the benefits of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) are well known in maxillofacial imaging, the use of this modality is not risk-free.Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the exposure doses received by patients during maxillofacial imaging with CBCT.Methods: Entrance surface dose (ESD) was measured by using thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) attached to the eyes...
متن کاملUndetected Small Accessory Mental Foramina Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography
INTRODUCTION The accessory foramina could not be identified on some imaging modalities such as surface-rendered images. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of surface-rendered images in detecting these foramina. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed 20 accessory mental foramina (AMF) in nine mandibles removed from cadavers with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and assesse...
متن کاملdesign and construction of an optical computed tomography scanner for polymer gel dosimetry application
polymer gel dosimeter is the only accurate three dimensional (3d) dosimeter that can measure the absorbed dose distribution in a perfect 3d setting. gel dosimetry by using optical computed tomography (oct) has been promoted by several researches. in the current study, we designed and constructed a prototype oct system for gel dosimetry. first, the electrical system for optical scanning of the g...
