Pixel response‐based EPID dosimetry for patient specific QA
Increasing use of high dose rate, flattening filter free (FFF), and/or small-sized field beams presents a significant challenge to the medical physics community. In this work, we develop a strategy of using a high spatial resolution and high frame rate amorphous silicon flat panel electronic portal imaging device (EPID) for dosimetric measurements of these challenging cases, as well as for conv...
متن کاملAnatomy‐based, patient‐specific VMAT QA using EPID or MLC log files
In this project, we investigated the use of an electronic portal imaging device (EPID), together with the treatment planning system (TPS) and MLC log files, to determine the delivered doses to the patient and evaluate the agreement between the treatment plan and the delivered dose distribution. The QA analysis results are presented for 15 VMAT patients using the EPID measurements, the ScandiDos...
متن کاملSU-E-T-170: A Viable Approach to Patient Specific QA for Spine VMAT SRS Using EPID-Based Dosimetry.
PURPOSE VMAT involves multi-parameter modulations, thus presenting multi-dimensional challenges. Here, we present a viable approach to VMAT patient specific QA using EPID-based dosimetry for spine VMAT SRS casesMethods: Our spine VMAT SRS plans consisted of two full arcs and were optimized with 6 MV photons for a Varian Trilogy LINAC. The QA plans were computed by resetting all control points t...
متن کاملTreatment couch positioning uncertainties using an EPID-based method
Introduction: The accuracy of patient positioning plays an important role for radiotherapy tasks. Short and automated Quality Assurance (QA) programs are becoming one of the challenging tasks in Radiotherapy. The current study, investigates the accuracy of treatment couch positioning with four degrees of freedom (4DoF) using a fast and accurate method based on an image acquired...
متن کاملPatient Specific IMRT Pre-Treatment Verification Using A Commercial Portal Dosimetry Software
Introduction: Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) are extensively used for dosimetric information of pre-treatment field verification and in-vivo dosimetry for Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT). In the present work, we have implemented the newly developed portal dosimetry software using independent dose prediction algorithm EPIDose and evaluated this new tool for the pretreatment IM...
