Medical dosimetry education occupies a specialized branch of allied health higher education. Noted international shortages of health care workers, reduced university funding, limitations on faculty staffing, trends in learner attrition, and increased enrollment of nontraditional students force medical dosimetry educational leadership to reevaluate current admission practices. Program officials ...
The purpose of this study was to ensure accuracy in radiation dose delivery, external dosimetry quality audit has an equal importance with routine dosimetry performed at clinics. To do so, dosimetry quality audit was organized by the Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL) of Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology (PINSTECH) at the national level to investigate and minimize...
background: thermoluminescence dosimetry is one of the dosimetry procedures used widely as routine and personal dosimeters. in order to extend this kind of dosimeters, dental tissue has been examined and was found promising as a tld dosimeter. materials and methods : in this study, 70 health teeth were collected. the only criterion, which was considered for selection of the teeth, was the healt...
we report a case of a 40 year old man with portal hypertension caused by a splenic arteriovenous fistula that was diagnosed at laparotomy. he presented with bleeding esophageal varices and was initially treated by sclerotherapy. at laparotomy, portal pressure was 40 cmh20 but fell to 20 cm h20 after the fistula was treated with splenectomy. all symptoms disappeared shortly after operation and t...
The relationship between the pixel value and exit dose was investigated for a new commercially available amorphous silicon electronic portal imaging device. The pixel to dose mapping function was established to be linear for detector distances between 116.5 cm to 150 cm from the source, radiation field sizes from 5 x 5 cm2 to 20 x 20 cm2 and beam energies of 6 to 18 MV. Coefficients in the mapp...
By comparing predicted dose images with physically acquired images, radiotherapy fields may be verified. A good portal dose verification chain should be accurate and unrestricted in terms of gantry angle and patient-imager air gap distance. We present latest enhancements and rigorous tests of a portal dose prediction framework based on Monte Carlo (MC) radiation transport. We also present initi...
BACKGROUND To expand and test the dosimetric procedure, known as GLAaS, for amorphous silicon detectors to the RapidArc intensity modulated arc delivery with Varian infrastructures and to test the RapidArc dosimetric reliability between calculation and delivery. METHODS The GLAaS algorithm was applied and tested on a set of RapidArc fields at both low (6 MV) and high (18 MV) beam energies wit...
PURPOSE To present the results and discuss potential insights gained through surveys on reference dosimetry practices. METHODS Two surveys were sent to medical physicists to learn about the current state of reference dosimetry practices at radiation oncology clinics worldwide. A short survey designed to maximize response rate was made publicly available and distributed via the AAPM website an...
Some of the more relevant recent achievements and developments in the field of external radiation dosimetry are reviewed in this presentation. Among them, topics related to personal dosimetry, as the relative role of active and passive methods and the features of some recently proposed new methods. Electronic personal dosemeters and Optically Stimulated Luminescence, OSL, have already accredite...
Lithium formate has shown to be a material with properties suitable for electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) dosimetry, among them up to 7 times higher sensitivity compared to alanine, which is a well-established EPR detector material for dose determinations in radiotherapy. The aim of this thesis was to further investigate the properties of lithium formate and develop the dosimetry system tow...
