This study developed portal image verification (PIV) software to enhance radiotherapy accuracy. The PIV tool improves visualization and quantifies field placement errors for precise patient treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy Technology
  • Image Processing

Context:

  • Quality Assurance (QA) in radiotherapy relies on accurate patient positioning.
  • Portal imaging is crucial for verifying treatment fields before and during radiation delivery.
  • Existing verification methods may lack precision and detailed visualization.

Purpose:

  • To develop a novel Portal Image Verification (PIV) software.
  • To enhance the accuracy and visualization of portal field verification in radiotherapy.
  • To compute and quantify field placement errors for improved treatment precision.

Summary:

  • The PIV software was developed using Visual C++ on Windows 95.
  • It incorporates image processing tools and multimode display for enhanced visualization.
