Dosimetric verification of pre-treatment intensity modulated radiation therapy in the commissioning process
Background: Commissioning tests are recommended before implementing Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy. This study evaluated five different plans of IMRT mocks for different modulation indices. Materials and Methods: IMRT tests were done in slab phantom for both 6MV and 15 MV photon energies using a 2D array ion chamber dosimeter. Results: The acceptance criteria were based on 3% /3mm. All t...
متن کاملFLUENCE MAP OPTIMIZATION IN INTENSITY MODULATED RADIATION THERAPY FOR FUZZY TARGET DOSE
Although many methods exist for intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) fluence map optimization for crisp data, based on clinical practice, some of the involved parameters are fuzzy. In this paper, the best fluence maps for an IMRT procedure were identifed as a solution of an optimization problem with a quadratic objective function, where the prescribed target dose vector was fuzzy. First, a d...
متن کاملImproved toxicity profile following high-dose postprostatectomy salvage radiation therapy with intensity-modulated radiation therapy.
BACKGROUND With salvage radiation therapy (SRT) in the postprostatectomy setting, the need to deliver sufficient radiation doses to achieve a high probability of tumor control is balanced with the risk of increased toxicity. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in the postprostatectomy salvage setting is gaining interest as a treatment strategy. OBJECTIVE Compare acute and late toxici...
متن کاملInverse Verification of the Dose Distribution for Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy Patient-specific Quality Assurance Using Dynamic MLC Log Files
The aim of this study was to investigate a novel method for verification of the dose distribution for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) patient-specific quality assurance (QA) using dynamic multi-leaf collimator (DMLC) log files (Dynalog files). Dynalog files are recorded every 50 ms by using a MLC controller during the IMRT treatment. Dynalog files contain actual MLC positional info...
متن کاملDosimetric verification of micro‐MLC based intensity modulated radiation therapy
A methodology for the dosimetric verification of micro-multileaf collimator MMLC) based intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans intended for stereotactic applications is described. The procedure is similar to that of conventional IMRT patient-specific quality assurance with some notable exceptions. Relative dosimetry measurements are performed with radiographic film, a commercial fil...
