Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Radiotherapy Physics

Background:

  • Detector arrays are crucial for precise beam profile measurements in radiotherapy.
  • Task Group 106 highlighted the utility of detector arrays for soft-wedge profile measurements.
  • Commissioning stereotactic beams requires accurate small-field data acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To verify the extended use of a high-resolution linear diode array (LDA-99sc) for stereotactic beam commissioning.
  • To compare the performance of the LDA-99sc against a traditional stereotactic diode (SFD) scanning system.
  • To assess the accuracy, signal stability, and efficiency of the LDA-99sc for small-field measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Field measurements were conducted using the LDA-99sc and an SFD scanning diode at various depths and field sizes (1x1 cm², 2x2 cm², 3x3 cm²).

  • Both techniques acquired data in 1.0mm increments, ensuring comparable resolution and sample rates.
  • Data from the LDA-99sc was compared directly with data from the SFD under identical conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • The LDA-99sc exhibited significantly less signal fluctuation compared to the SFD, attributed to reduced water motion.
    • Smoother LDA-99sc data allowed for beam modeling using raw data, eliminating the need for filtering algorithms.
    • The LDA-99sc measured slightly wider penumbra (0.1 mm) and field size (0.3 mm) than the SFD, considered acceptable variations.
    • Profile scanning time was substantially reduced with the LDA-99sc (31 seconds) compared to the SFD (229 seconds).

    Conclusions:

    • The LDA-99sc provides accurate, commissioning-grade small-field beam profile data, validated by comparison with diode scans.
    • Utilizing the LDA-99sc reduces measurement uncertainty and significantly decreases acquisition time.
    • Acceptable variations in penumbra and field size were observed, likely due to the LDA-99sc's raw data output versus processed diode data.
