EPID in vivo dosimetry in RapidArc technique [PDF]

open access: yesReports of Practical Oncology & Radiotherapy, 2010
The aim of the study was to estimate the dose at the reference point applying an aSi-EPID device in the course of patient treatment.The method assumes direct proportionality between EPID signal and dose delivered to the patient reference point during the treatment session.

A Validation Method for EPID In Vivo Dosimetry Algorithms [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The aim of this study was to develop and apply an evaluation method for assessing the accuracy of a novel 3D EPID back-projection algorithm for in vivo dosimetry. The novel algorithm of Dosimetry Check (DC) 5.8 was evaluated. A slab phantom homogeneously filled, or with air and bone inserts, was used for fluence reconstruction of different squared ...

Importance of beam-matching between truebeam stx and novalis tx in pre-treatment quality assurance using portal dosimetry

open access: yesJournal of Medical Physics, 2021
Flexibility and efficiency in a radiotherapy department with different linear accelerators (linacs) can be improved if they are dosimetrically equivalent, and there is no need of plan or patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) modification.

Exacerbations and healthcare resource utilization among COPD patients in a Swedish registry-based nation-wide study

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2018
Background Exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are an important measure of disease severity in terms of impaired disease progression, increased recovery time, healthcare resource utilization, overall morbidity and mortality.

EPID‐based dosimetry to verify IMRT planar dose distribution for the aS1200 EPID and FFF beams [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2016
We proposed to perform a basic dosimetry commissioning on a new imager system, the Varian aS1200 electronic portal imaging device (EPID) and TrueBeam 2.0 linear accelerator for flattened (FF) and flattening filter‐free (FFF) beams, then to develop an image‐based quality assurance (QA) model for verification of the system delivery accuracy for intensity‐

Use of Amorphous Silicon (ASi) Electronic Portal Imaging Devices for Other applications for Linear Accelerator Quality Assurance [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Medical Physics, 2021
Introduction: The success of radiation therapy depends critically on the accuracy of patient alignment in treatment position day after day. The primary use for Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) is to monitor patient position during daily ...

EPID with Efficient Proof of Non-Revocation

open access: yesProceedings of the 2022 ACM on Asia Conference on Computer and Communications Security, 2022
EPID systems are anonymous authentication mechanisms which are standardized by ISO/IEC and massively deployed in Intel processors. They are related to the large family of privacy-preserving signatures but differ in that they provide a very pragmatic way of revoking members.
