The linear accelerator (linac) is a device that uses highfrequency electromagnetic waves to accelerate charged particles such as electrons to high energies through a linear tube. The high-energy electron beam can be used for treating superficial tumours, or it can be made to strike a target to produce x-rays for treating deep-seated tumours. In the majority of instances, the collimated beam eme...
Verification of Varian enhanced dynamic wedge implementation in MasterPlan treatment planning system
A new method of generating wedge-shaped dose distributions through dynamic multileaf collimator dose delivery rather than computer-controlled jaw motion is presented. The method starts with the calculation of a wedge-shaped beam profile for the desired wedge angle. The resultant wedge beam profile is then passed to the intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) leaf sequence generation algori...
Radiation therapy treatment planning for many clinical situations requires wedgeshaped isodose distributions. The wedged dose distributions can be generated through the use of physical wedges (PWs), motorized wedges and the synchronization of jaw or multileaf collimator dynamic motion with accelerator dose output. Modern medical accelerators are usually equipped with a dynamic wedge (DW) option...
We report a rare case of primary pulmonary low-grade angiosarcoma on dynamic contrast-enhanced CT and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT imaging. A 38-year-old, asymptomatic woman was hospitalized because of an abnormality on chest radiography. A dynamic contrast-enhanced chest CT showed a 1.2 cm-sized irregular-margined nodule with strong and persistent enhanc...
BACKGROUND Wedge filters can be used as missing tissue compensators or wedge pairs to alter the shape of isodose curves so that two beams can be angled with a small hinge angle at a target volume without creating a hotspot. AIM In this study the dosimetric properties of Varian Enhanced Dynamic Wedge (EDW) and physical wedges (PW) were analyzed and compared. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ionometric ...
Dose inhomogeneity in treatment planning can be compensated using physical wedges. Enhanced dynamic wedges (EDW) were introduced by Varian to overcome some of the shortcomings of physical wedges. The objectives of this study were to measure EDW output factors for 6 MV and 20 MV photon energies for a Varian 2300CD. Secondly, to review the literature in terms of published enhanced dynamic wedge o...
