Evaluation of a biplanar diode array dosimeter for quality assurance of step‐and‐shoot IMRT
In this paper, we described and characterized a novel biplanar diode array, and demonstrated its applicability to dosimetric QA of the step-and-shoot IMRT. It is the first commercially available device of its kind specifically designed for measurements at varying gantry angles. The detector consists of a cylindrical PMMA phantom with two orthogonal detector boards. There are a total of 1069 p-t...
متن کاملEvaluation of a 2D diode array for IMRT quality assurance.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The QA of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) dosimetry is a laborious task. The goal of this work is to evaluate the dosimetric characteristics of a new 2D diode array (MapCheck from Sun Nuclear Corporation, Melbourne, Florida) and assess the role it can play in routine IMRT QA. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fundamental properties of the MapCheck such as reproducibility, li...

Clinical implications of the overshoot effect for treatment plan delivery and patient‐specific quality assurance for step‐and‐shoot IMRT
In this work, overshoot and undershoot effects associated with step-and-shoot IMRT (SSIMRT) delivery on a Varian Clinac 21iX are investigated, and their impact on patient-specific QA point dose measurements and treatment plan delivery are evaluated. Pinnacle3 SSIMRT plans consisting of 5, 10, and 15 identical 5 × 5 cm2 MLC defined segments and MU/segment values of 5 MU, 10 MU, and 20 MU were ut...
متن کاملEvaluation of a 3D diode array dosimeter for helical tomotherapy delivery QA.
The Delta4 biplanar diode array dosimeter was validated for helical tomotherapy delivery QA. The basic detector characteristics were found to be satisfactory in terms of short-term reproducibility (0.1%), linearity (<0.1%), dose rate dependence (0.4%), and absolute calibration accuracy (0.4% in the center of the phantom compared with the independently calibrated diode). Relative calibration of ...
