Teflon cylindrical phantom for delivery quality assurance of SBRT
At our institution the standard delivery quality assurance (DQA) procedure for tomotherapy plans is accomplished with a water equivalent phantom, EDR2 film, and ion chamber point-dose measurements. Most plans deliver at most 5 Gy to the dose plane; however, recently a stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) protocol has produced plans delivering upwards of 12 Gy to the film plane. EDR2 film satur...
متن کاملA novel phantom design for brachytherapy quality assurance
Background: One major challenge in brachytherapy is to verify the accuracy of dose distributions calculated by the treatment planning system. In this project, a new phantom design has been introduced for quality assurance of dose distributions in gynocological (GYN) brachytherapy implants using EBT GafChromic film. Materials and Methods: This phantom has been designed and fabricated from 90 sla...
متن کاملDosimetric Study of an Indigenous and Heterogeneous Pelvic Phantom for Radiotherapy Quality Assurance
Introduction: In vitro dosimetric verification prior to patient treatment plays a key role in accurate and precision radiotherapy treatment delivery. Since the human body is a heterogeneous medium, the aim of this study was to design a heterogeneous pelvic phantom for radiotherapy quality assurance. Material and Methods: A pelvic phantom was ...
متن کاملA Rotational Cylindrical fMRI Phantom for Image Quality Control
PURPOSE A novel phantom for image quality testing for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans is described. METHODS The cylindrical, rotatable, ~4.5L phantom, with eight wedge-shaped compartments, is used to simulate rest and activated states. The compartments contain NiCl2 doped agar gel with alternating concentrations of agar (1.4%, 1.6%) to produce T1 and T2 values approximating...
متن کاملA quality assurance phantom for electronic portal imaging devices
Electronic portal imaging device (EPID) plays an important role in radiation therapy portal imaging, geometric and dosimetric verification. Consistent image quality and stable radiation response is necessary for proper utilization that requires routine quality assurance (QA). A commercial 'EPID QC' phantom weighing 3.8 kg with a dimension of 25 × 25 × 4.8 cm³ is used for EPID QA. This device ha...
