متن کاملDosimetric Characteristics of Transparent Bolus for External Beam Radiotherapy
Introduction: In radiotherapy, the bolus is often used while treating the tumor under the uneven surfaces of the patients for correcting the anatomical irregularities and increasing skin dose. Wet cotton and wet gauze are still used in developing countries, since the use of wet cotton and wet gauze has certain disadvantages, there is a need for transparent bolus which ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Machine Performance Check application for TrueBeam Linac
BACKGROUND Machine Performance Check (MPC) is an application to verify geometry and beam performances of TrueBeam Linacs, through automated checks based on their kV-MV imaging systems. In this study, preliminary tests with MPC were analyzed using all photon beam energies of our TrueBeam, comparing whenever possible with external independent checks. METHODS Data acquisition comprises a series ...
متن کاملDosimetric evaluation of Plastic Water Diagnostic Therapy
High-precision radiotherapy planning and quality assurance require accurate dosimetric and geometric phantom measurements. Phantom design requires materials with mechanical strength and resilience, and dosimetric properties close to those of water over diagnostic and therapeutic ranges. Plastic Water Diagnostic Therapy (PWDT: CIRS, Norfolk, VA) is a phantom material designed for water equivalen...
متن کاملA dosimetric intercomparison of kilovoltage X-rays, megavoltage photons and electrons in the Republic of Ireland.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A comprehensive dosimetry intercomparison has been carried out involving all the radiotherapy centres, all external beam modalities and every radiotherapy treatment unit in the Republic of Ireland. MATERIALS AND METHODS Reference point measurements were made for all megavoltage photon beams. Doses were also investigated in planned three-field distributions. One of these...
