Towards Effective and Efficient Patient-Specific Quality Assurance for Spot Scanning Proton Therapy
An intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) program based on measurement alone can be very time consuming due to the highly modulated dose distributions of IMPT fields. Incorporating independent dose calculation and treatment log file analysis could reduce the time required for measurements. In this article, we summarize our effort to develop an effici...
متن کاملROC analysis in patient specific quality assurance.
PURPOSE This work investigates the use of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) methods in patient specific IMRT quality assurance (QA) in order to determine unbiased methods to set threshold criteria for γ-distance to agreement measurements. METHODS A group of 17 prostate plans was delivered as planned while a second group of 17 prostate plans was modified with the introduction of random m...
متن کاملThree‐dimensional gamma criterion for patient‐specific quality assurance of spot scanning proton beams
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of full three-dimensional (3D) gamma algorithm for spot scanning proton fields, also referred to as pencil beam scanning (PBS) fields. The difference between the full 3D gamma algorithm and a simplified two-dimensional (2D) version was presented. Both 3D and 2D gamma algorithms are used for dose evaluations of clinical proton PBS field...
متن کاملA Specific Patient Quality Assurance (PSQA) procedure for a Co-60 source based High Dose Rate Brachytherapy
Introduction: In radiation therapy, accurate dose determination and precise dose delivery to the tumor are directly associated with better treatment outcomes in terms of higher tumor control and lower post radiation therapy complications. The current study aims the development and clinical application of the Patient Specific Quality Assurance (PSQA) procedures for nasopharyngea...
متن کاملQuality assurance in proton beam therapy using a plastic scintillator and a commercially available digital camera
PURPOSE In this article, we evaluate a plastic scintillation detector system for quality assurance in proton therapy using a BC-408 plastic scintillator, a commercial camera, and a computer. METHODS The basic characteristics of the system were assessed in a series of proton irradiations. The reproducibility and response to changes of dose, dose-rate, and proton energy were determined. Photogr...
