Feasibility study of structural similarity index for patient-specific quality assurance. [PDF]

J Appl Clin Med Phys
AbstractBackgroundThe traditional gamma evaluation method combines dose difference (DD) and distance‐to‐agreement (DTA) to assess the agreement between two dose distributions. However, while gamma evaluation can identify the location of errors, it does not provide information about the type of errors.PurposeThe purpose of this study is to optimize and ...

Comparing log file to measurement-based patient-specific quality assurance

Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine, 2022
Abstract Recent technological advances have allowed the possibility of performing patient-specific quality assurance (QA) without time-intensive measurements. The objectives of this study are to: 1) compare how well the log file-based Mobius QA system agrees with measurement-based QA methods (ArcCHECK and portal dosimetry, PD) in passing and ...

Evaluation of Dosimetry Check software for IMRT patient‐specific quality assurance [PDF]

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2015
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of the Dosimetry Check system for patient‐specific IMRT QA. Typical QA methods measure the dose in an array dosimeter surrounded by homogenous medium for which the treatment plan has been recomputed. With the Dosimetry Check system, fluence measurements acquired on a portal dosimeter is applied to the ...

Deep Hybrid Learning Prediction of Patient-Specific Quality Assurance in Radiotherapy: Implementation in Clinical Routine

Diagnostics, 2023
Background: Arc therapy allows for better dose deposition conformation, but the radiotherapy plans (RT plans) are more complex, requiring patient-specific pre-treatment quality assurance (QA). In turn, pre-treatment QA adds to the workload. The objective
