Measurement possibilities using an electronic portal imaging device

Medical Dosimetry, 1993
A vital role in the quality control of radiotherapy is the use of portal imaging for verifying field size, shape, orientation and patient set-up. Coincidence of treated volume and target volume is imperative. Electronic portal imaging devices are effective at providing this verification.

An electronic portal imaging device for transit dosimetry

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 1997
An electronic portal imaging device has been designed and constructed. It consists of an array of 128 CsI scintillation crystals coupled to photodiodes which is scanned across the field in 4 seconds. The linac is operated at a dose rate of 400 cGy min-1 and the dose delivered for image acquisition is approximately 27 cGy.

Use of electronic portal imaging devices for electron treatment verification

Australasian Physical & Engineering Sciences in Medicine, 2015
This study aims to help broaden the use of electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) for pre-treatment patient positioning verification, from photon-beam radiotherapy to photon- and electron-beam radiotherapy, by proposing and testing a method for acquiring clinically-useful EPID images of patient anatomy using electron beams, with a view to enabling ...

Routine individualised patient dosimetry using electronic portal imaging devices

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2007
To analyse the results of routine EPID measurements for individualised patient dosimetry.Calibrated camera-based EPIDs were used to measure the central field dose, which was compared with a dose prediction at the EPID level. For transit dosimetry, dose data were calculated using patient transmission and scatter, and compared with measured values ...
