Pixel response‐based EPID dosimetry for patient specific QA
Increasing use of high dose rate, flattening filter free (FFF), and/or small-sized field beams presents a significant challenge to the medical physics community. In this work, we develop a strategy of using a high spatial resolution and high frame rate amorphous silicon flat panel electronic portal imaging device (EPID) for dosimetric measurements of these challenging cases, as well as for conv...
متن کاملEvaluation of a fast method of EPID-based dosimetry for IMRT and Comparison with 3D EPID-based dosimetry system using conventional two- and three-dimensional detectors for VMAT
Introduction: Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) could potentially be useful for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and VMAT QA. The data density, high resolution, large active area, and efficiency of the MV EPID make it an attractive option. However, EPIDs were designed as imaging devices, not dosimeters, and as a result they do not inherently measure dose in ...
متن کاملSU-E-T-170: A Viable Approach to Patient Specific QA for Spine VMAT SRS Using EPID-Based Dosimetry.
PURPOSE VMAT involves multi-parameter modulations, thus presenting multi-dimensional challenges. Here, we present a viable approach to VMAT patient specific QA using EPID-based dosimetry for spine VMAT SRS casesMethods: Our spine VMAT SRS plans consisted of two full arcs and were optimized with 6 MV photons for a Varian Trilogy LINAC. The QA plans were computed by resetting all control points t...
متن کامل3D EPID-based in vivo dosimetry for IMRT and VMAT
In this paper the various approaches of EPID-based in vivo IMRT and VMAT dose verification, and their clinical implementation, are described. It will be shown that EPID-based in vivo dosimetry plays an important role in the total chain of verification procedures in a radiotherapy department. EPID-based dosimetry, in combination with in-room imaging, is a fast and accurate tool for 3D in vivo ve...
متن کاملAnatomy‐based, patient‐specific VMAT QA using EPID or MLC log files
In this project, we investigated the use of an electronic portal imaging device (EPID), together with the treatment planning system (TPS) and MLC log files, to determine the delivered doses to the patient and evaluate the agreement between the treatment plan and the delivered dose distribution. The QA analysis results are presented for 15 VMAT patients using the EPID measurements, the ScandiDos...
