Evaluation of Accuracy and Quality assurance of external beam therapy with photons
Introduction: Receiving exact dose by the patients is vital in radiotherapy. In radiation therapy, the dosimetry of radiations is too important because of successful radiation inquires for delivering the exact dose to the target volume. This study is to evaluate the tolerances and the accuracy of calculated dose of photon beams in the treatment software system. The TECDOC1583 p...
متن کاملQuality Assurance of External Beam Radiotherapy
'Quality assurance' is all those planned and systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that a product or service will satisfy the given requirements for quality (ISO 9000:1994). As such it is wide ranging, covering all relevant procedures, activities and actions, and hence all groups of staff involved in the process under consideration. 12.1.1.2. Quality assurance in radiother...
متن کاملQuality Assurance of Beam Accuracy for Leksell Gamma Unit
For the acceptance test and annual quality assurance of the Leksell Gamma Unit, measurement of the beam accuracy, defined as a distance between mechanical and radiological isocenters, poses a challenge to medical physicists. The specification for the beam accuracy is within 0.5 mm for the 4-mm collimator helmet. In this report, we introduce a simple technique to analyze the beam accuracy by usi...
متن کاملQuality Assurance (QA) for Kilovoltage Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
Precise targeting of the tumor is very important and imaging can be immensely helpful in this process. Hence the quality assurance of the imaging systems used to guide the beam is also essential. One could argue that it is as critical as quality assurance for the radiation dose output, since the right amount of radiation dose delivered to the wrong location can be as detrimental as delivering t...
متن کاملUse of a novel two‐dimensional ionization chamber array for pencil beam scanning proton therapy beam quality assurance
The need to accurately and efficiently verify both output and dose profiles creates significant challenges in quality assurance of pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton delivery. A system for PBS QA has been developed that combines a new two-dimensional ionization chamber array in a waterproof housing that is scanned in a water phantom. The MatriXX PT has the same detector array arrangement as the ...
