The growing use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for IGRT has increased concerns over the additional radiation dose to patients. The in-field dose of IGRT and the peripheral dose (PD) from kilovoltage CBCT (KV-CBCT) imaging have been well quantified. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the peripheral dose from megavoltage CBCT (MV-CBCT) imaging for nasopharyngeal carcinoma IGRT, to d...

PURPOSE As cone-beam CT (CBCT) systems dedicated to various imaging specialties proliferate, technical assessment grounded in imaging physics is important to ensuring that image quality and radiation dose are quantified, understood, and justified. This paper involves technical assessment of a new CBCT scanner (CS 9300, Carestream Health, Rochester, NY) dedicated to imaging of the ear and sinuse...

 Abstract Background: Adjacent treatment fields are commonly used in external beam radiation therapy, such as mantle and inverted-Y fields for the treatment of Hodgkin’s disease and craniospinal fields used in the treatment of medulloblastoma and head and neck tumors when the lateral neck fields are placed adjacent to the anterior supraclavicular field. In each of these situations, there is a p...

background: in myocardial perfusion spect imaging, images are degraded by photon attenuation, the distance-dependent collimator, detector response and photons scatter. filters greatly affect quality of nuclear medicine images materials and methods: a phantom simulating heart left ventricle was built. about 1mci of 99mtc was injected into the phantom. images were taken from this phantom. some fi...
