Assessment of Dose Calculation Accuracy of TiGRT Treatment Planning System for Physical Wedged fields in Radiotherapy
Introduction Wedge modifiers are commonly applied in external beam radiotherapy to change the dose distribution corresponding to the body contour and to obtain a uniform dose distribution within the target volume. Since the radiation dose delivered to the target must be within ±5% of the prescribed dose, accurate dose calculation by a treatment planning system (TPS) is important. The objective ...
متن کاملImprovements in dose calculation accuracy for small off-axis targets in high dose per fraction tomotherapy.
PURPOSE A recent field safety notice from TomoTherapy detailed the underdosing of small, off-axis targets when receiving high doses per fraction. This is due to angular undersampling in the dose calculation gantry angles. This study evaluates a correction method to reduce the underdosing, to be implemented in the current version (v4.1) of the TomoTherapy treatment planning software. METHODS T...
متن کاملAlignment Metric Accuracy
We propose a metric for the space of multiple sequence alignments that can be used to compare two alignments to each other. In the case where one of the alignments is a reference alignment, the resulting accuracy measure improves upon previous approaches, and provides a balanced assessment of the fidelity of both matches and gaps. Furthermore, in the case where a reference alignment is not avai...
متن کاملA Metric for Music Notation Transcription Accuracy
Automatic music transcription aims at transcribing musical performances into music notation. However, most existing transcription systems only focus on parametric transcription, i.e., they output a symbolic representation in absolute terms, showing frequency and absolute time (e.g., a pianoroll representation), but not in musical terms, with spelling distinctions (e.g., A[ versus G]) and quanti...
متن کاملProlonged Treatment Time Deteriorates Positioning Accuracy for Stereotactic Radiosurgery
INTRODUCTION The accuracy of radiation delivery is increasingly important as radiotherapy technology continues to develop. The goal of this study was to evaluate intrafractional motion during intracranial radiosurgery and the relationship between motion change and treatment time. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 50 treatment records with 5988 images, all acquired during treatments with the Cy...
