Inertia effects in single absorber modulation can cause dose inaccuracies. Proposed corrections significantly improve modulation accuracy, reducing deviations from 17.6% to under 1.6%.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Mechanical Engineering

Background:

  • Dynamic modulation accuracy is crucial for precise radiation delivery.
  • Inertia effects can limit acceleration capabilities in modulating systems.
  • Existing methods may struggle with steep fluence gradients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate inertia effects on single absorber 1D modulation.
  • Analyze the impact of system acceleration on fluence profile realization.
  • Develop and validate correction strategies for improved modulation accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of single absorber 1D modulation dynamics.
  • Quantification of deviations under varying acceleration gradients.
  • Implementation and testing of proposed correction algorithms.

Main Results:

  • Negligible deviations for slow fluence gradients without correction.
  • Significant deviations (up to 17.6%) observed with steeper gradients.
  • Corrections reduced maximum deviation in minima to below 1.6%.

Conclusions:

  • Inertia significantly impacts dynamic modulation accuracy, especially at high accelerations.
  • Proposed corrections effectively mitigate acceleration-induced errors in single absorber systems.
  • Accurate dynamic modulation is achievable with appropriate error compensation.
