Validation and application of polymer gel dosimetry for the dose verification of an intensity-modulated arc therapy (IMAT) treatment.
Polymer gel dosimetry was used to assess an intensity-modulated arc therapy (IMAT) treatment for whole abdominopelvic radiotherapy. Prior to the actual dosimetry experiment, a uniformity study on an unirradiated anthropomorphic phantom was carried out. A correction was performed to minimize deviations in the R2 maps due to radiofrequency non-uniformities. In addition, compensation strategies we...
متن کاملDosimetric verification for intensity-modulated arc therapy plans by use of 2D diode array, radiochromic film and radiosensitive polymer gel
Several tools are used for the dosimetric verification of intensity-modulated arc therapy (IMAT) treatment delivery. However, limited information is available for composite on-line evaluation of these tools. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dosimetric verification of IMAT treatment plans using a 2D diode array detector (2D array), radiochromic film (RCF) and radiosensitive polymer ...
متن کاملImprovements on the Planning and Delivery of Intensity-Modulated Arc Therapy
In the past decade, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has taken a significant step towards dose conformality and has now become a standard radiotherapy technique in the clinic. In this era, a rotational IMRT technique called intensity-modulated arc therapy (IMAT) was also proposed to possibly further reduce normal tissue toxicity and compete with conventional IMRT. However, clinical ...
متن کاملEvaluation of triple channel correction acquisition method for radiochromic film dosimetry
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the triple channel correction acquisition (TCCA) method for radiochromic film dosimetry performed with a flatbed scanner. The study had two parts: a fundamental and a clinical examination. In the fundamental examination, we evaluated the accuracy of calibration curves for Gafchromic EBT2 (EBT2). The films were calibrated using a field-by-field method wi...
متن کاملApplications of IMAT in cervical esophageal cancer radiotherapy: a comparison with fixed‐field IMRT in dosimetry and implementation
This study aimed to compare fixed-field, intensity-modulated radiotherapy (f-IMRT) with intensity-modulated arc therapy (IMAT) treatment plans in dosimetry and practical application for cervical esophageal carcinoma. For ten cervical esophageal carcinoma cases, f-IMRT plan (seven fixed-fields) and two IMAT plans, namely RA (coplanar 360° arcs) and RAx (coplanar 360° arcs without sectors from 80...
