Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Dosimetry

Background:

  • Accurate dosimetry is crucial for effective radiation therapy.
  • Tissue Phantom Ratio (TPR) is a key parameter for characterizing radiation beams.
  • Existing methods for TPR calculation have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel method for calculating TPR based on depth dose measurements.
  • To compare the accuracy of the proposed TPR calculation method against established techniques.
  • To validate the proposed method using experimental data.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an analytical dose model (Bjärngard) to describe depth dose and TPR.
  • Derived model parameters from depth dose measurements for TPR calculation.
  • Compared calculated TPR with experimental measurements and two other methods (BrainLAB, conventional).

Main Results:

  • The proposed algorithm yielded TPR values with a mean deviation of -0.2 +/- 0.1% from experimental measurements.
  • This accuracy was maintained across various field sizes and depths.
  • The proposed method demonstrated superior agreement with experimental data compared to other methods.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method provides a more accurate calculation of TPR.
  • Results indicate statistically significant improvements over existing TPR calculation techniques.
  • This method enhances the reliability of radiation therapy dosimetry.
