Active matrix flat-panel arrays show promise for radiotherapy dosimetry. Direct detection configuration offers accurate dosimetry, outperforming phosphor-coupled systems for quality assurance.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy Technology
  • Radiation Detection

Background:

  • Active matrix flat-panel arrays (AMFPAs) are emerging technologies for medical imaging.
  • Their application in radiotherapy dosimetry, particularly for quality assurance, requires thorough investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the suitability of an amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) based AMFPA for radiotherapy dosimetry.
  • To compare different detection configurations for accurate radiation measurement.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a 512x512 pixel a-Si:H AMFPA for measuring radiotherapy beam profiles at 6 and 15 MV.
  • Investigated two configurations: direct detection and indirect detection using a phosphor screen.
  • Compared AMFPA data with ion chamber measurements for relative dosimetry.

Main Results:

  • The direct detection configuration showed close agreement with ion chamber dosimetry data.
  • The phosphor screen configuration yielded significant deviations from ion chamber measurements.
  • AMFPA demonstrated linear dose response (>99%) within 25% of charge capacity and dose rate independence.
  • Excellent long-term pixel response stability was observed over two months.

Conclusions:

  • AMFPAs, particularly in a direct detection mode, are suitable for radiotherapy dosimetry and quality assurance.
  • The technology offers high linearity, stability, and dose rate independence, crucial for reliable measurements.
