Abstract Background The dosimetric leaf gap (DLG) value is a key parameter that affects dose calculation accuracy in radiotherapy when using the Eclipse treatment planning system. Diode array dosimeters are used to determine the optimal DLG value because they are convenient and fast, providing instant readout of planar dose distributions rather than a ...

Detector response and dose calculation lateral to material interfaces for 6 MV photon beam
Abstract Background Dose calculation around inhomogeneities is challenging for many algorithms. A validation of dose distributions in these conditions is not straightforward, as detector response close to material interfaces is affected by the non‐equilibrium situation, the changing energy spectrum and the volume effect in a steep dose gradient ...

Validation of Geant4 nuclear reaction models for hadrontherapy and preliminary results with SMF and BLOB [PDF]
Reliable nuclear fragmentation models are of utmost importance in hadrontherapy, where Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are used to compute the input parameters of the treatment planning software, to validate the deposited dose calculation, to evaluate the ...

A device for production of PAGAT dosimetry gel
Abstract Background PAGAT (PolyAcrylamide Gelatine gel fabricated at ATmospheric conditions) gel dosimetry provides a valuable three‐dimensional (3D) measurement tool for photon therapy, particularly in the context of advanced radiotherapy techniques such as volumetric modulated arc therapy or intensity‐modulated radiation therapy.

Abstract Background Respiratory and digestive motion can compromise the accuracy of radiotherapy (RT), affecting tumor targeting and healthy tissue sparing. Current phantoms often fail to replicate complex organ movements and lack compatibility with advanced imaging modalities like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 4D computed tomography (4DCT ...

Responses of Gafchromic EBT3 films with polypropylene barriers to UV radiation
The present paper proposed to use Gafchromic EBT3 films covered with 2, 4 and 6 polypropylene-film barriers for long-term monitoring of solar UV radiation. The usable range for the films with 2 barriers was from ∼4 to ∼40 Jcm−2, that for the films with 4

Assessment of radiographic screen-film systems: a comparison between the use of a microdensitometer and a drum film digitiser [PDF]
A high-end drum film digitiser (Tango, Germany) and a calibrated linear microdensitometer developed by PTB were used to assess the modulation transfer function (MTF) and the noise power spectra (NPS) of 3 mammographic screen film systems at optical ...
