Implementation and evaluation of patient-specific three-dimensional internal dosimetry.
UNLABELLED Current methods for calculating the absorbed dose in a target region from a source region rely on a standard "reference man" geometry and assume an uniform distribution of radiolabel. While this approach is acceptable at the low levels of radioisotope administered for most diagnostic purposes, the generality of the calculations is not adequate for doses at the higher levels required ...
متن کاملThree‐dimensional gamma criterion for patient‐specific quality assurance of spot scanning proton beams
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of full three-dimensional (3D) gamma algorithm for spot scanning proton fields, also referred to as pencil beam scanning (PBS) fields. The difference between the full 3D gamma algorithm and a simplified two-dimensional (2D) version was presented. Both 3D and 2D gamma algorithms are used for dose evaluations of clinical proton PBS field...
متن کاملROC analysis in patient specific quality assurance.
PURPOSE This work investigates the use of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) methods in patient specific IMRT quality assurance (QA) in order to determine unbiased methods to set threshold criteria for γ-distance to agreement measurements. METHODS A group of 17 prostate plans was delivered as planned while a second group of 17 prostate plans was modified with the introduction of random m...
متن کاملPatient-specific quality assurance of RapidArc treatments: Portal prediction dosimetry compared with phantom studies
Purpose: To validate a locally fabricated phantom of Imatrixx-2D Array by comparing its results with ArcCheck phantom and comparing portal dosimetry measurements with the two phantom studies. Materials and Methods: Electronic Portal Imaging Devices and Epiqa software were used for portal dosimetry. An Imatrixx-2D array with a locally fabricated phantom and ArcCheck cylindrical phantom were used...
متن کاملEvaluation of Dosimetry Check software for IMRT patient‐specific quality assurance
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of the Dosimetry Check system for patient-specific IMRT QA. Typical QA methods measure the dose in an array dosimeter surrounded by homogenous medium for which the treatment plan has been recomputed. With the Dosimetry Check system, fluence measurements acquired on a portal dosimeter is applied to the patient's CT scans. Instead of making dose co...
