Dosimetric verification of intensity modulated beams produced with dynamic multileaf collimation using an electronic portal imaging device.
Dose distributions can often be significantly improved by modulating the two-dimensional intensity profile of the individual x-ray beams. One technique for delivering intensity modulated beams is dynamic multileaf collimation (DMLC). However, DMLC is complex and requires extensive quality assurance. In this paper a new method is presented for a pretreatment dosimetric verification of these inte...
متن کاملAn experimental evaluation of the Agility MLC for motion-compensated VMAT delivery.
An algorithm for dynamic multileaf-collimator (dMLC) tracking of a target performing a known a priori, rigid-body motion during volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), has been experimentally validated and applied to investigate the potential of the Agility (Elekta AB, Stockholm, Sweden) multileaf-collimator (MLC) for use in motion-compensated VMAT delivery. For five VMAT patients, dosimetric ...
متن کاملPhysics Contribution Integration of Real-time Internal Electromagnetic Position Monitoring Coupled with Dynamic Multileaf Collimator Tracking: an Intensity-modulated Radiation Therapy Feasibility Study
Purpose: Continuous tumor position measurement coupled with a tumor tracking system would result in a highly accurate radiation therapy system. Previous internal position monitoring systems have been limited by fluoroscopic radiation dose and low delivery efficiency. We aimed to incorporate a continuous, electromagnetic, threedimensional position tracking system (Calypso 4D Localization System)...
متن کاملCommissioning and quality assurance for intensity‐modulated radiotherapy with dynamic multileaf collimator: Experience of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile
The objective of this paper is to present our experience in the commissioning and quality assurance (QA) for intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) using dynamic multileaf collimator (dMLC), sliding window technique. Using Varian equipment solution, the connectivity and operation between all IMRT chain components was checked. Then the following test were done: stability of leaf positioning and...
متن کاملManagement of three-dimensional intrafraction motion through real-time DMLC tracking.
Tumor tracking using a dynamic multileaf collimator (DMLC) represents a promising approach for intrafraction motion management in thoracic and abdominal cancer radiotherapy. In this work, we develop, empirically demonstrate, and characterize a novel 3D tracking algorithm for real-time, conformal, intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)-based radiation...
