Independent dosimetric calculation with inclusion of head scatter and MLC transmission for IMRT.
Independent verification of the MU settings and dose calculation of IMRT treatment plans is an important step in the IMRT quality assurance (QA) procedure. At present, the verification is mainly based on experimental measurements, which are time consuming and labor intensive. Although a few simplified algorithms have recently been proposed for the independent dose (or MU) calculation, head scat...
متن کاملMeasurement and comparison of head scatter factor for 9MV photon beam using the build-up cap and a columnar mini-phantom
Introduction: The Sc is an important parameter to monitor unit (MU) calculation in radiation therapy procedure. The aim of this study is to measurement and comparison of head scatter factor (Sc) for 9MV photon beam using the build-up cap and a columnar mini-phantom. Materials and Methods: The measurements performed using a calibrated ion chamber (Scanditron...

متن کاملIntraoperative Radiotherapy With INTRABEAM: Technical and Dosimetric Considerations
Methods and materials: Dose measurements were performed for a low energy (50 kV) X-ray INTRABEAM source. For spherical, flat, surface, and needle applicators, the following dosimetric parameters were measured: depth-dose (DD) profiles, surface dose (Ds), output factors (OF), and target dose homogeneity (DH). Optical density versus exposure calibration films were employed to obtain 2-dimensional...
متن کاملEthical considerations in determining standard of prevention packages for HIV prevention trials: examining PrEP.
The successful demonstration that antiretroviral (ARV) drugs can be used in diverse ways to reduce HIV acquisition or transmission risks--either taken as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) by those who are uninfected or as early treatment for prevention (T4P) by those living with HIV--expands the armamentarium of existing HIV prevention tools. These findings have implications for the design of fut...
