Abstract:
Cherenkov images can be used for the quality assurance of dose homogeneity in total skin electron therapy (TSET). For the dose mapping purpose, this study reconstructed the patient model from 3D scans using registration algorithms and computer animation techniques. The Cherenkov light emission of the patient's surface was extracted from multi-view Cherenkov images, converted into dose distribution, and projected onto the patient's 3D model, allowing for dose cumulation and evaluation. The projected result from multiple Cherenkov cameras provides additional information about Cherenkov emission on the sides of the patients, which improves the agreement between the Cherenkov converted dose and the OSLD measurements.
