Dosimetry with a fluoroscopic electronic portal imaging device [PDF]
Techniques for dosimetric verification of radiotherapy treatments using a CCD camera based fluoroscopic electronic portal imaging device (EPID) are described. The dosimetric characteristics of the EPID were investigated and a method was developed to derive portal dose images (PDIs) from measured EPID images.

Abstract Noise exposure is increasingly recognized as a modifiable environmental risk factor for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), yet its integration into epidemiologic research remains limited. We reviewed international noise mapping resources, exposure metrics, and analytic approaches relevant to ADRD studies.

Boost Approaches in Patients Undergoing Postoperative Radiotherapy
ABSTRACT The use of breast conservation surgery for early‐stage breast cancer is common, and adjuvant radiotherapy is often recommended to reduce the risk of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence. Historical trials have used sequential boost techniques with favorable outcomes with reduction in local recurrence and acceptable cosmetic outcomes.

Identification of treatment error types for lung cancer patients using convolutional neural networks and EPID dosimetry [PDF]
Background/Purpose: Electronic portal imaging device (EPID) dosimetry aims to detect treatment errors, potentially leading to treatment adaptation. Clinically used threshold classification methods for detecting errors lead to loss of information (from ...

Sensitivity and concordance study of an open source EPID‐based linear accelerator test suite
Abstract Background Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) enhance linear accelerator (linac) quality assurance (QA) efficiency but are not universally used beyond patient‐specific IMRT QA. A multi‐institutional Consortium seeks to standardize linac QA utilizing an EPID‐based test suite.
