Accuracy of the dose delivery in prostate cancer patients-using an electronic portal imaging device (EPID)
Background: To correct patient positioning errors (setup errors) during prostate cancer treatment using EPID and fiducial gold markers, to improve the accuracy of the dose delivery in these patients. Materials and Methods: Fifteen patients with localized prostate carcinoma after implantation of fiducial gold markers in their prostate gland underwent the five-field IMRT planning technique. The p...
متن کاملPretreatment quality control of single isocenter half- beam treatment planning technique using an amorphous silicon electronic portal-imaging device (EPID)
Introduction: Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) are fundamentally used for instantaneous verification of the patient set‐up, block shape, and leaf positions during radiation therapy. In radiotherapy, situations arise in which an inclined PTV must be treated mutually with adjacent nodal regions. This methodology is most widely used for matching tangential/lateral breas...

متن کاملTwin machines validation for VMAT treatments using electronic portal-imaging device: a multicenter study
PURPOSE To verify the accuracy of volumetric arc therapy (VMAT) using the RapidArc™ device when switching patients from one single linear accelerator (linac) to a paired energy and mechanics "twin" linac without reoptimization of the original treatment plan. PATIENTS AND METHODS Four centers using 8 linacs were involved in this study. Seventy-four patients previously treated with the 6MV phot...
متن کاملVerifying 4D gated radiotherapy using time-integrated electronic portal imaging: a phantom and clinical study
BACKGROUND Respiration-gated radiotherapy (RGRT) can decrease treatment toxicity by allowing for smaller treatment volumes for mobile tumors. RGRT is commonly performed using external surrogates of tumor motion. We describe the use of time-integrated electronic portal imaging (TI-EPI) to verify the position of internal structures during RGRT delivery METHODS TI-EPI portals were generated by c...
