Verification of quality parameters for portal images in radiotherapy
BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to verify different values of quality parameters of portal images in radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated image qualities of different field verification systems. Four EPIDs (Siemens OptiVue500aSi(®), Siemens BeamView Plus(®), Elekta iView(®) and Varian PortalVision™) were investigated with the PTW EPID QC PHANTOM(®) and compared with two...
متن کاملQuality enhancement of Pelvis electronic portal images in order to improve treatment accuracy
Introduction: In order to reduce patient setup error in treatment field, portal images with treatment beam (megavoltage x-ray) are widely used. These images are acquired by electronic portal imaging devices (EPID). However, portal images suffer from insufficient anatomical information, contrast, and spatial resolution, because of the fact that Compton scatter is the main photon...
متن کاملA Novel Approach for the Registration of 2D Portal and 3D CT Images for Treatment Setup Verification in Radiotherapy
In this paper we present a framework to simultaneously segment portal images and register them to 3D treatment planning CT data sets for the purpose of radiotherapy setup verification. Due to the low resolution and low contrast of the portal image, taken with a high energy treatment photon beam, registration to the 3D CT data is a difficult problem. However, if some structure can be segmented i...
متن کاملAssessment of the Quality of Radiotherapy with the Use of Portal and Simulation Images
Quality assessment in external beam radiotherapy necessitates for an efficient and robust tool for comparing the planned and realised geometry of the treatment. Such a tool using the modified Hausdorff distance measure has been developed and successfully introduced to clinical practice. The majority of steps of the method are automatic. The user specifies the share of edge data extracted from t...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Portal Imaging System Performance for an Elekta Precise Linac in Radiotherapy
Introduction: Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) provide two- and three-dimensional planar and volumetric cone beam images to improve the accuracy of radiation treatment delivery. Periodic quality assurance (QA) of EPIDs is essential for dosimetric verification in radiotherapy. In this study, a QA program was implemented to evaluate the function of the EPID to be confident in applying co...
