A new deformable phantom was created for radiation therapy quality assurance. This easily constructed phantom aids in validating dynamic imaging and targeting techniques for improved accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Quality assurance (QA) is critical for accurate radiation therapy.
  • Dynamic imaging and targeting techniques require specialized QA tools.
  • Existing phantoms may not adequately simulate soft tissue deformation or motion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a deformable phantom for radiation therapy QA.
  • To assess the phantom's suitability for dynamic imaging and targeting verification.
  • To provide an accessible tool for routine QA of treatment delivery.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of a deformable phantom using common materials and imaging components.
  • Evaluation of the phantom's relative attenuation properties.
