BACKGROUND Preclinical radiation biology has become increasingly sophisticated due to the implementation of advanced small animal image guided radiation platforms into laboratory investigation. These small animal radiotherapy devices enable state-of-the-art image guided therapy (IGRT) research to be performed by combining high-resolution cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging with an isoc...
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to combine a set of methods for use of radiochromic film dosimetry, including calibration, correction for lateral effects and a proposed triple-channel analysis. These methods can be applied to GAFCHROMIC EBT3 film dosimetry for radiation field analysis and verification of IMRT plans. METHODS A single-film exposure was used to achieve dose calibration, and th...
A quantitative comparison of two full three-dimensional (3D) gel dosimetry techniques was assessed in a clinical setting: radiochromic gel dosimetry with an in-house developed optical laser CT scanner and polymer gel dosimetry with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To benchmark both gel dosimeters, they were exposed to a 6 MV photon beam and the depth dose was compared against a diamond detecto...
A new radiochromic film, GafChromic EBT, was investigated for use in a real-time radiation dosimetry system. It was found to be approximately eight times more sensitive to ionizing radiation dose, exhibited less postexposure development and achieved stable readout faster than one of its predecessors, GafChromic MD-55. A clear distinction in change in optical density between exposure and postexp...
The high spatial resolution of radiochromic film makes it ideal for dosimetric measurements and dose distributions in regions of high dose gradient. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy, intravascular brachytherapy, and eye-plaque radiation therapy demand precise spatial dosimetric calculations. Such precision is not possible with conventional dosimeters, such as thermoluminescent dosimeters a...
The suitability of radiochromic EBT film was studied for high-precision clinical quality assurance (QA) by identifying the dose response for a wide range of irradiation parameters typically modified in highly-conformal treatment techniques. In addition, uncertainties associated with varying irradiation conditions were determined. EBT can be used for dose assessment of absorbed dose levels as we...
An anthropomorphic head phantom, constructed from a water-equivalent plastic shell with only a spherical target, was modified to include a nonspherical target (pituitary) and an adjacent organ at risk (OAR) (optic chiasm), within 2 mm, simulating the anatomy encountered when treating acromegaly. The target and OAR spatial proximity provided a more realistic treatment planning and dose delivery ...
Background: Small-field dosimetry remains an open challenge globally. Thus, it is crucial to consider adequate reference codes of practice for the performance dosimetry. Furthermore, as part good clinical practice, implementation new implies development a audit program. In this work, pilot dosimetric protocol established measuring absolute dose in water small fields using micro-TLDs LiF:Mg,Ti d...
Curative breast radiotherapy typically leaves patients with varying degrees of cosmetic damage. One problem interfering with cosmetically acceptable breast radiotherapy is the external contour for large pendulous breasts which often results in high doses to skin folds. Thermoplastic casts are often employed to secure the breasts to maintain setup reproducibility and limit the presence of skin f...
