API-enabled integration of Pylinac with QATrack+ for automated EPID-based QA on Elekta linear accelerators: a technical note [PDF]
BACKGROUND: EPID quality assurance (QA) workflows remain largely manual and are difficult to standardise across treatment machines. This limits efficiency, increases operator dependency, and complicates consistent reporting and data sharing between ...

Evaluation of Dose Distribution at the Level of Electronic Portal Imaging Device using Treatment Planning System [PDF]
Background: Treatment Planning Systems (TPS) are designed to calculate dose distributions within the CT imaging field of view. However, the Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) is positioned outside this area, making it challenging to use standard TPS

Preclinical feasibility of EPID-based transit dosimetry for total body irradiation. [PDF]
Abstract Background Conventional extended‐distance total body irradiation (TBI) is commonly verified using point dosimeters, which provide limited spatial information and require additional handling during a prolonged treatment procedure. A portable charge‐coupled device (CCD)‐based electronic portal imaging device (EPID) positioned downstream of the ...
