Evaluation of the Delta4 phantom for IMRT and VMAT verification.
The Delta(4) diode array phantom (Scandidos, Uppsala, Sweden) was evaluated for verification of segmental intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) on an Elekta linear accelerator (Crawley UK). The device was tested for angular sensitivity by irradiating it from 36 different gantry angles, and the responses of the device to various step-and-shoot s...
متن کاملComparison of 3D anatomical dose verification and 2D phantom dose verification of IMRT/VMAT treatments for nasopharyngeal carcinoma
BACKGROUND The two-dimensional phantom dose verification (2D-PDV) using hybrid plan and planar dose measurement has been widely used for IMRT treatment QA. Due to the lack of information about the correlations between the verification results and the anatomical structure of patients, it is inadequate in clinical evaluation. A three-dimensional anatomical dose verification (3D-ADV) method was us...
متن کاملA Generalized Strategy for 3D Dose Verification of IMRT/VMAT Using EPID-measured Transit Images
The aim in this study is to develop a generalized strategy for 3D dose verification of IMRT and VMAT planes using EPID transit images in combination with Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. An EPID-based dosimetric verification procedure was developed to convert EPID-measured transit images into 2D exit photon fluence by de-convoluting with the MC-simulated EPID response kernels. The present scatter ...
متن کاملDose verification of radiotherapy for lung cancer by using plastic scintillator dosimetry and a heterogeneous phantom
Bone, air passages, cavities, and lung are elements present in patients, but challenging to properly correct for in treatment planning dose calculations. Plastic scintillator detectors (PSDs) have proven to be well suited for dosimetry in non-reference conditions such as small fields. The objective of this study was to investigate the performance of a commercial treatment planning system (TPS) ...
متن کاملAcrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic‐based low cost tissue equivalent phantom for verification dosimetry in IMRT
A novel IMRT phantom was designed and fabricated using Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic. Physical properties of ABS plastic related to radiation interaction and dosimetry were compared with commonly available phantom materials for dose measurements in radiotherapy. The ABS IMRT phantom has provisions to hold various types of detectors such as ion chambers, radiographic/radiochromic...
