Summary

A novel 3D dosimeter using a plenoptic camera and plastic scintillator offers high-resolution, real-time quality assurance for dynamic radiation therapy. This technology accurately measures dose distributions for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT).

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy Dosimetry
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Patient-specific quality assurance (QA) for dynamic radiotherapy is crucial for treatment accuracy.
  • Existing 3D dosimeters like gels have limitations, including tedious procedures and poor reproducibility.
  • There is a need for advanced 3D dosimeters capable of real-time monitoring of complex radiotherapy techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel high-resolution 3D dosimeter utilizing a plastic scintillator and a plenoptic camera.
  • To enable real-time light acquisition for accurate dose measurement in 3D.
  • To facilitate QA for dynamic radiation therapy techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT).

Main Methods:

  • A Raytrix R5 plenoptic camera imaged a 10x10x10 cm(3) EJ-260 plastic scintillator within an acrylic phantom.
  • Irradiation was performed using IMRT and VMAT plans on a Clinac iX linear accelerator.
  • A 3D dose distribution was reconstructed at 2 mm resolution using an iterative algorithm, constrained by portal imager data and physical dose behavior.

Main Results:

  • The reconstructed 3D dose showed an average absolute dose difference below 1.5% of the maximum dose compared to treatment planning software for IMRT and VMAT.
  • Dose agreement with radiochromic film was within 2.1% for IMRT and 1.2% for VMAT.
  • The system achieved millimeter resolution and water-equivalent dosimetry over the entire 3D volume.

Conclusions:

  • Plenoptic camera technology enables millimeter-resolution, water-equivalent 3D dosimetry for IMRT and VMAT plans.
  • The absence of moving parts allows for time-resolved acquisition of dose distributions.
  • This novel dosimeter can validate static and dynamic radiation delivery for various radiation types.
