Title

2D linear array device as a quality assurance tool in brachytherapy applications

Pages

  371-376

Abstract

 Background: External beam radiotherapy and Brachytherapy plays a vital role in the management of cancer cervix. High dose rate Brachytherapy is being presently used worldwide for the Brachytherapy applica ons. At present, 2-Dimensional linear array detectors are the most common QA tool used for pretreatment pa ent specific quality assurance in external beam radiotherapy alone and  ll date no dedicated Brachytherapy tool is available. An a$empt has been made to explore the feasibility of using 2 dimensional linear array, Imatrixx as a QA tool for Brachytherapy. Materials and Methods: Reference treatment plans are generated by Plato treatment planning system using the images of Imatrix acquired with Siemens CT simulator. The efficacy of Imatrixx as a QA tool for intracavitary treatment plan verifica on, dwell posi on and dwell  me accuracy verifica on are studied. Results: The length and the widths along with the area of the reference isodose curves of the intracavitary treatment plans generated by Plato Planning system and measured with Imatrixx is compared. The difference in area of the reference isodose curve is found to vary from-0. 59 cm2 to 4. 59 cm2. The es mated user correc on factor for Iridium-192 energy, 0. 38 MeV is 1. 090 with a standard devia on of ± 0. 0211. Machine related QA such as dwell posi on and dwell  me were measured with Imatrixx with an accuracy of 0. 5 mm and 0. 02 s respec vely. Conclusion: Results shows that the 2-Dimensional linear array, Imatrixx can be used with accepted accuracy for both machine and pa ent specific quality assurance in Brachytherapy treatments.
