    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Radiotherapy Technology

    Background:

    • High-energy radiation therapy requires precise patient positioning.
    • Port radiographs are crucial for verifying treatment accuracy.
    • Simulators are advanced tools for treatment planning, often unavailable in smaller facilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the construction and application of a novel radiographic scale grid.
    • To provide an accessible quality assurance tool for radiation therapy departments.
    • To enhance the accuracy of port radiographs in resource-limited settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a radiographic scale grid designed for integration with high-energy radiation therapy machines.
    • Testing the practical application of the grid in generating port radiographs.
    • Focus on usability for departments without simulator access.

    Main Results:

    • Successful construction and integration of the radiographic scale grid.
    • Demonstrated practical utility in producing accurate port radiographs.
    • The grid provides a viable alternative for quality assurance in smaller radiation therapy centers.

    Conclusions:

    • The radiographic scale grid is an effective and practical tool for improving port radiograph accuracy.
    • It offers a valuable solution for community hospitals and private practices lacking sophisticated simulators.
    • This innovation supports enhanced quality and safety in radiation therapy delivery.
