Twin machines validation for VMAT treatments using electronic portal-imaging device: a multicenter study
PURPOSE To verify the accuracy of volumetric arc therapy (VMAT) using the RapidArc™ device when switching patients from one single linear accelerator (linac) to a paired energy and mechanics "twin" linac without reoptimization of the original treatment plan. PATIENTS AND METHODS Four centers using 8 linacs were involved in this study. Seventy-four patients previously treated with the 6MV phot...
متن کاملAccuracy of the dose delivery in prostate cancer patients-using an electronic portal imaging device (EPID)
Background: To correct patient positioning errors (setup errors) during prostate cancer treatment using EPID and fiducial gold markers, to improve the accuracy of the dose delivery in these patients. Materials and Methods: Fifteen patients with localized prostate carcinoma after implantation of fiducial gold markers in their prostate gland underwent the five-field IMRT planning technique. The p...
متن کاملComparative Study between Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) for Radiation Treatment Verifications
Introduction: Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) are the preferred tools of Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) and Dose Guided Radiotherapy (DGRT) which have been used for Radiotherapy treatment verifications. As a result, the number of publications dealing with these two tools for radiation treatment verification has increased consi...
متن کاملA quality assurance program for an amorphous silicon electronic portal imaging device using in-house developed phantoms: a method development for dosimetry purposes
Background: Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) play an important role in radiation therapy portal imaging, geometric and dosimetric verifications. A successful utilization of EPIDs for imaging and dosimetric purposes requires a reliable quality control process routine to be carried out regularly. In this study, two in-house phantoms were developed and analyzed for implementation in a qua...
متن کاملPretreatment quality control of single isocenter half- beam treatment planning technique using an amorphous silicon electronic portal-imaging device (EPID)
Introduction: Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) are fundamentally used for instantaneous verification of the patient set‐up, block shape, and leaf positions during radiation therapy. In radiotherapy, situations arise in which an inclined PTV must be treated mutually with adjacent nodal regions. This methodology is most widely used for matching tangential/lateral breas...
