Physical characteristics of a commercial electronic portal imaging device [PDF]

Medical Physics, 1996
An electronic portal imaging device (EPID) for use in radiotherapy with high energy photons has been under development since 1985 and has been in clinical use since 1988. The x-ray detector consists of a metal plate/fluorescent screen combination, which is monitored by a charge-coupled device (CDD)-camera.

Evaluation of an Electronic Portal Imaging Device for Transit Dosimetry [PDF]

Acta Oncologica, 1999
The possibility of using a commercially available electronic portal imaging device for transit dosimetry was investigated. The detection unit of the device comprises a metal plate/fluorescence screen and a camera. Basic parameters of this system were investigated: stability, detector uniformity, dose-response curve, field-size dependence and phantom ...
