BACKGROUND In modern radiotherapy, it is crucial to monitor the performance of all linac components including gantry, collimation system and electronic portal imaging device (EPID) during arc deliveries. In this study, a simple EPID-based measurement method has been introduced in conjunction with an algorithm to investigate the stability of these systems during arc treatments with the aim of en...

A scanning liquid-filled ionization chamber electronic portal imaging device (SLIC-EPID) and extended dose range (EDR2) films were used to evaluate transmitted dose profiles for homogeneous and inhomogeneous phantoms. Calibrated ionization chamber measurements were used to convert the pixel values acquired from the electronic portal images to dose. Because SLIC-EPID was developed to have a unif...

PURPOSE To verify the accuracy of volumetric arc therapy (VMAT) using the RapidArc™ device when switching patients from one single linear accelerator (linac) to a paired energy and mechanics "twin" linac without reoptimization of the original treatment plan. PATIENTS AND METHODS Four centers using 8 linacs were involved in this study. Seventy-four patients previously treated with the 6MV phot...

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...

Amorphous silicon (a-Si) electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) are x-ray detectors frequently used in radiotherapy imaging and dosimetry applications. EPIDs employ a copper plate and gadolinium oxysulfide phosphor screen with an array of a-Si photodiodes to indirectly detect incident radiation. In this study, a previously developed Monte Carlo (MC) model of an aSi EPID has been extended for...

A commercially available amorphous Silicon Electronic Portal imaging device (aSi-EPID) installed onto Siemens Oncor Linear accelerator was evaluated with the objective to be implemented for IMRT quality assurance. EPID properties were investigated; these include reproducibility, dependences between the relative EPID responses and field size, dose rate were studied for both photon beams. To dete...

Multileaf collimator (MLC) calibration and quality control is a time-consuming procedure typically involving the processing, scanning and analysis of films to measure leaf and collimator positions. Faster and more reliable calibration procedures are required for these tasks, especially with the introduction of intensity modulated radiotherapy which requires more frequent checking and finer posi...
