Reference dosimetry and small - field dosimetry in external beam radiotherapy : Results from a Danish intercomparison study
max. 2000 char.): A comparison of dosimetry methods at different clinics can be used as a means to uncover systematic uncertainties in radiotherapy. To assess the current status of reference dosimetry and small-field dosimetry in clinical practice, a collaborative comparison study involving several dosimetry methods was performed by DTU Nutech at six Danish clinics. The first part of the interc...
متن کاملEvaluation of MRI-based MAGIC polymer gel dosimeter in small photon fields
Background: Accurate small radiation field dosimetry is essential in modern radiotherapy techniques such as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Precise measurement of dosimetric parameters such as beam profile, percentage depth doses and output factor of these beams are complicated due to the electron disequilibrium and the steep dose gradients. In the p...
متن کاملSmall field dosimetry for the small animal radiotherapy research platform (SARRP)
BACKGROUND Preclinical radiation biology has become increasingly sophisticated due to the implementation of advanced small animal image guided radiation platforms into laboratory investigation. These small animal radiotherapy devices enable state-of-the-art image guided therapy (IGRT) research to be performed by combining high-resolution cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging with an isoc...
متن کاملEnergy and field size dependence of a silicon diode designed for small-field dosimetry
Purpose: To investigate the energy dependence/spectral sensitivity of silicon diodes designed for small-field dosimetry and obtain response factors (RFs) for arbitrary photon spectra using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Methods: The EGSnrc user-code DOSRZnrc was used to calculate the dose deposition in water and in the active volume of a stereotactic diode f...
متن کاملSmall photon field dosimetry using EBT2 Gafchromic film and Monte Carlo simulation
Background: Small photon fields are increasingly used in modern radiotherapy especially in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treatments. Accurate beam profile and central axis depth doses measurements of such beams are complicated due to the electron disequilibrium. Hence the EBT2 (external beam therapy) Gafchromic film was used for dosimetry of sm...
