[ 1 ] - Evaluation of Full scatter convolution algorithm based Treatment Planning System performance in the presence of inhomogeneities using three-dimensional film dosimetry

Introduction: Inclusion of inhomogeneities such as air-filled cavities in the head and neck treatment fields may result in potential dosimetric disagreement which was caused by electronic disequilibrium. Most of treatments planning systems (TPS) are not able to predict dose distribution of inhomogeneous regions accurately. EBT2 films are used frequently in radiotherapy quality ass...

[ 2 ] - Evaluation of Three-dimensional Treatment Planning System (TPS) performance in dose calculation of virtual wedged fields using film dosimetry

Introduction: Nowadays radiotherapy plays an important role in cancer treatment. Different radiotherapy techniques improvement emphasizes on using of the precise ، appropriate and useful algorithms. one of these techniques are wedged which is used in radiotherapy to compensate missing tissues and create a uniform dose distribution in tissues. The Siemens Artiste linear accelera...

[ 3 ] - Using a photographic image processing method as a part of the QA program in some radiotherapy departments where CTs are involved with COVID-19 patients

Background & Aims: Owing to the significant role of CT images in diagnosis and follow up of patients affected with coronavirus, the imaging section of cancer centers in some countries engaged in providing services to COVID-19 patients. The aim of this study was to introduce a CT-independent photographic-based QA method in some radiotherapy departments where CTs are involved with COVID-19 patien...
