Evaluation of Daily CT for EPID-Based Transit In Vivo Dosimetry [PDF]
PurposeThe difference in anatomical structure and positioning between planning and treatment may lead to bias in electronic portal image device (EPID)-based in vivo dosimetry calculations. The purpose of this study was to use daily CT instead of planning

Improving patient treatment accuracy using transit dosimetry with Electronic Portal Imaging Device images and deep learning [PDF]
Background and Purpose:: Electronic portal imaging devices (EPID) can be utilized for transit in vivo dosimetry (IVD). A major limitation of standard amorphous Silicon EPID detectors for usage IVD is their non-linear detector response to water equivalent

A collapsed-cone based transit EPID dosimetry method
To develop a transit-dose portal dosimetry method based on a commercial collapsed-cone algorithm.A Varian Clinac21EX (Varian Medical Systems, USA), equipped with an amorphous-silicon EPID aS1000, was used. Dose calculations were performed with the collapsed-cone algorithm of Pinnacle3 v8.0 m (Philips Medical Systems, USA).
