Uncertainty Analysis in MRI-based Polymer Gel Dosimetry
Background: Polymer gel dosimeters combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used for dose verification of advanced radiation therapy techniques. However, the uncertainty of dose map measured by gel dosimeter should be known. The purpose of this study is to investigate the uncertainty related to calibration curve and MRI protocol for MAGIC (Methacrylic and Ascorbic acid in Gelatin I...
متن کاملVerification of MRI MAGAT polymer gel dosimetry in clinical radiotherapy applications
Introduction: The objective of this work is to study the ability of MRI normoxic polymer gel dosimetry system to be used to verify the calculated dose distribution, in a simple geometry, in clinical radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Initially, 2 liters of the normoxic MAGAT polymer gel was prepared and then poured into two cylindrical Perspex phantom (simu...
متن کامل3D MRI gel dosimetry based on image intensity (A new approach)
Background: Since 1984 MRI gel dosimetry has been introduced as a potential technique for 3D dosimetry. Most of the studies have measured R1 (1/T1) or R2 (1/T2) properties of the gel depending on the gel type. We have studied image intensity change in the Fricke gel by different MRI protocols. Materials and Methods: Gel Dosimeters contain 0.4 mM ferrous sulphate, 1 mM NaCl, 50 mM H2SO4 and 1% b...

متن کاملEvaluation of MRI-based Polymer Gel Dosimetry for Measurement of CT Dose Index (CTDI) on 64 slices CT Scanners
Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) has numerous applications in clinical procedures but its main problem is its high radiation dose to the patients compared to other imaging modalities using x-ray. CT delivers approximately high doses to the nearby tissues due to the scattering effect, fan beam (beam divergence) and limited collimator efficiency. The radiation dose from multi-slice scanners...
