Measurement of beam-axis displacement from the isocenter during three-dimensional conformal radiosurgery with a micro-multileaf collimator.
We describe the displacement of the beam-axis from the planning isocenter in clinical situations during three-dimensional conformal radiosurgery using an Acculeaf bi-directional micro-multileaf collimator. The displacements were recorded for 64 ports using a video imaging system and a stereotactic arc. The mean displacement was 0.41+/-0.25 mm.
متن کاملNumerical Solution Method of Nonlinear Guided Modes with a Finite Difference Beam Propagation Method Axis Complex
A method to construct modal fields for an arbitrary oneor two-dimensional intensity dependent refractive index structure is described. An arbitrary starting field is propagated along an imaginary axis using the Finite Difference Beam Propagation Method (FDBPM) based upon the Slowly Varying Envelope Approximation (SVEA). First the modes are found for the linear part of the refractive index struc...
متن کاملMeasurements of isocenter path characteristics of the gantry rotation axis with a smartphone application.
PURPOSE For stereotactic radiosurgery, the AAPM Report No. 54 [AAPM Task Group 42 (AAPM, 1995)] requires the overall stability of the isocenter (couch, gantry, and collimator) to be within a 1 mm radius. In reality, a rotating system has no rigid axis and thus no isocenter point which is fixed in space. As a consequence, the isocenter concept is reviewed here. It is the aim to develop a measure...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
15 صفحه اولMoiré topography by slit beam scanning.
A new method of moiré topography is suggested in which a slit beam is used in a scanning mode to generate moiré fringes. One remarkable feature of this method is that, as opposed to existing shadow and projection types, height differences between two consecutive fringes become constant so that absolute fringe orders need not be identified. This advantage makes it possible to measure three-dimen...
