WE-G-BRB-09: CyberKnife Patient Specific QA Using a 4D Cylindrical Diode Array System.
PURPOSE To examine and facilitate the feasibility of the ArcCheck cylindrical diode array system as a patient specific QA device for CyberKnife radiosurgery delivery. METHODS There is an obvious necessity for CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery patient QA procedures for hypofractionated treatment of larger planned treatment volumes (PTV), e.g. prostate. This need will increase when the future Cyb...
متن کاملA method to enhance spatial resolution of a 2D ion chamber array for quality control of MLC
This work introduces a new method for verifying MLC leaf positions with enough spatial resolution to replace film-based methods in performing QA tests. It is implemented on a 2D ion chamber array, and it is based on the principle of varying signal response of a volumetric detector to partial irradiation. A PTW 2D-ARRAY seven29 (PTW-729 2D) array was used to assess a Siemens OPTIFOCUS MLC. Parti...
متن کاملRobotic radiosurgery system patient‐specific QA for extracranial treatments using the planar ion chamber array and the cylindrical diode array
Robotic radiosurgery system has been increasingly employed for extracranial treatments. This work is aimed to study the feasibility of a cylindrical diode array and a planar ion chamber array for patient-specific QA with this robotic radiosurgery system and compare their performance. Fiducial markers were implanted in both systems to enable image-based setup. An in-house program was developed t...
متن کاملThe evaluation of minimum detectable phantom thickness change using a scanning liquid filled ion chamber EPID dose response
ABSTRACTBackground: Although Electronic Portal imaging Devices (EPIDs) have originally developed for positioning verification, they can also be used for dosimetric purposes. In the current work, the dose response of minimum detectable thickness of a Scanning Liquid filled Ion Chamber EPID, SLIC-EPID, and the variation of transmitted dose with the shift of inhomogeneity inside of phantom was al...
متن کاملDosimetric comparison between cone/Iris‐based and InCise MLC‐based CyberKnife plans for single and multiple brain metastases
We performed an evaluation of the CyberKnife InCise MLC by comparing plan qualities for single and multiple brain lesions generated using the first version of InCise MLC, fixed cone, and Iris collimators. We also investigated differences in delivery efficiency among the three collimators. Twenty-four patients with single or multiple brain mets treated previously in our clinic on a CyberKnife M6...
