Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Image Analysis

Background:

  • Transit dosimetry is crucial for verifying radiation therapy accuracy.
  • Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) are widely used for dose monitoring.
  • Existing through-air portal dose image (PDI) prediction algorithms require adaptation for transit dosimetry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and validate a method for transit dosimetry using EPIDs by extending a published through-air PDI prediction algorithm.
  • To characterize the effects of attenuation, scattering, and EPID response in the beam path.
  • To convert through-air PDIs into transit PDIs for treatment verification.

Main Methods:

  • Analyzed EPID detector response for various water-equivalent thicknesses and field sizes.
  • Developed a model accounting for beam attenuation, phantom scatter, detector energy dependence, and pixel response variations.
  • Verified the algorithm by comparing predicted and measured PDIs for IMRT fields delivered through homogeneous, heterogeneous, and anthropomorphic phantoms.

Main Results:

  • The transit PDI prediction is dependent on object thickness, field size, and EPID pixel position.
  • Monte Carlo simulations informed attenuation and scatter modeling.
  • Algorithmic verification showed high agreement with measurements: average gamma criteria passing rates of 96.7% (homogeneous), 97.1% (heterogeneous), and 98.1% (anthropomorphic phantoms).

Conclusions:

  • The extended algorithm can predict transit PDIs for treatment verification.
  • Measurements through phantoms demonstrate the algorithm's efficacy.
  • Further investigation with in-vivo patient treatments is recommended.
