  • Dosimetric measurement of an asymmetric collimator system was performed, using water phantom system for 4MV X-ray linear accelerator. We have studied the system of dose calculation with those measured result. We compared the field size factor and the percent depth dose for asymmetric collimator to those factor for symmetric fields. The results show that we can use symmetric field data directly within 1% error, if we consider the off axis ratio(OAR).

  • This paper shows the dosimetric uncertainties of electromagnetic field at in-vivo and in-vitro experiments. For more accurate consequences of these researches, we have tried to find out any correlations among output power, power density and specific absorption rate(SAR) with the results of in-vivo, in-vitro tests and SAR reports of cellular phone and PDA. In the case of in-vivo tests, the power density has close statistical correlations with SAR value and in the event of in-vitro tests, the output power has considerable statistical correlations with SAR containing duty factor. On the other hand, we found that both power density and output power don't have any close correlations with SAR. And, we obtained fitted regression form among frequency, power density and SAR containing duty factor through multiple linear regression analysis.

  • This study is to evaluate the dosimetric impact of dosimetric leaf gap (DLG) and transmission factor (TF) at different measurement depths and field sizes for high definition multileaf collimator (HD MLC). Consequently, its clinical implication on dose calculation of treatment planning system was also investigated for pancreas stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). The TF and DLG were measured at various depths (5, 8, 10, 12, and 15 cm) and field sizes ($6{\times}6$, $8{\times}8$, and $10{\times}10cm^2$) for various energies (6 MV, 6 MV FFF, 10 MV, 10 MV flattening filter free [FFF], and 15 MV). Fifteen pancreatic SBRT cases were enrolled in the study. For each case, the dose distribution was recomputed using a reconfigured beam model of which TF and DLG was the closest to the patient geometry, and then compared to the original plan using the results of dose-volume histograms (DVH). For 10 MV FFF photon beam, its maximum difference between 2 cm and 15 cm was within 0.9% and it is increased by 0.05% from $6{\times}6cm^2$ to $10{\times}10cm^2$ for depth of 15 cm. For 10 MV FFF photon beam, the difference in DLG between the depth of 5 cm and 15 cm is within 0.005 cm for all field sizes and its maximum difference between field size of $6{\times}6cm^2$ and $10{\times}10cm^2$ is 0.0025 cm at depth of 8 cm. TF and DLG values were dependent on the depth and field size. However, the dosimetric difference between the original and recomputed doses were found to be within an acceptable range (<0.5%). In conclusion, current beam modeling using single TF and DLG values is enough for accurate dose calculation.

  • DLG (Dosimetric Leaf Gap)와 투과계수는 방사선치료계획 시스템에서 MLC 모델링의 중요 매개변수이다. 본 연구에서는 측정 용적이 다른 검출기를 이용하여 HD-MLC의 DLG와 투과계수를 측정하였고, DLG의 최적화를 통해 방사선 치료계획의 정확성을 평가하였다. 용적이 작은 Semiflux3D, MicroDiamond 검출기로 Dynamic Sweeping Gap 방법을 통해 DLG를 측정하였다. 측정된 DLG 값을 최적화할 수 있도록 10개의 방사선치료계획을 생성하고 QA결과와 비교하였다. 6, 8, 10 MV에서 Semiflux3D로 측정한 DLG는 0.76, 0.83, 0.85 mm 였고, MicroDiomond로 측정한 DLG는 0.78. 0.86, 0.9 mm 였다. 방사선치료계획 시스템에서 검출기로 측정한 DLG와 최적화된 DLG 값으로 생성한 10개의 치료계획을 Postal dosimetry로 QA하여 감마분석 하였다. 6 MV 광자선의 감마분석결과 2 mm/2% 기준에서 DLG 0.78 mm는 평균 94.3%였고, DLG 1.15 mm는 평균 98.4%였다. 10 MV 광자선에서도 DLG 0.9 mm는 평균 91.2%, DLG 1.25 mm는 97.6%였다. HD-MLC의 사용은 방사선치료계획 시스템에 정확한 모델링이 완성되어야 한다. DLG 값을 검출기로 측정하여 임상에 사용할 수 있지만, DLG 값의 최적화가 이루어진다면 환자에게 더 유용한 방사선 치료를 전달할 수 있을 것이다.

  • 본 논문에서는 RF 전자기장을 사용한 동물 및 세포 실험에서 전자기장 노출량의 정확성을 평가할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 전자파 흡수율(SAR)을 전자기장 노출량의 단위로 사용한 동물 및 세포 연구 논문과 휴대폰 및 PDA에 대한 전자파 흡수율 시험 성적서를 대상으로 출력 전력, 전력 밀도 등과 SAR의 상관 관계 및 회귀 관계를 분석하였다. 동물 실험의 경우 전력 밀도와 SAR이, 세포 실험의 경우 출력 전력이 duty factor를 고려한 SAR과 통계적으로 유의한 상관 관계를 보였다. 회귀분석에서의 노출 불확실성을 평가하기 위해 결정계수값을 분석하였다. 각각의 실험장치 및 방법에 대한 해석 또는 측정 기법의 분석 이전에 본 연구 방법을 실시하여 대상 연구군의 특성을 고찰한다면 보다 효율적인 전자기장노출신뢰성 평가를 실시할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • The beam characteristics and dosimetric measurements of the 6MV X-ray and 6MeV electron beam from a ML-6M linear accelerator are examined. The Percent Depth Dose(PDD) table and the tissue Maximum Ratio(TMR) table are taken from measurement as a function of the field size and the depth. The calculated TMR table from PDD table is compared with those from measurement. Other beam characteristics such as output factor, beam profile(including flatness, symmetry and penumbra), wedge, and the variation of Dmax are presented. All of these dosimetric measurements sufficiently characterized the beam to permit safe clinical use.

  • 본 연구에서는 동적 세기조절방사선치료에서 깊이에 따른 DLG (Dosimetric Leaf Gap)의 변화가 치료계획시스템에서의 선량계산의 정확성에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 6 MV와 15 MV광자선에 대하여 동일한 SAD 조건하에 4개의 다른 깊이(2 cm, 5 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm)에서 측정된 다엽콜리메이터의 투과계수와 DLG 값을 치료계획시스템에 적용하여 DLG 측정 과정을 모사하였을 때 계산된 투과계수와 DLG 값들을 각각의 측정값들과 비교하여 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 Millenium 120 MLC시스템이 장착 된 단일 선형가속기가 사용되었다. 각각 다른 깊이에서 측정된 DLG와 투과계수 값을 적용하였을 때 치료계획시스템을 이용한 모사에서는 투과계수의 경우 1% 이내로 계산과 측정이 일치함을 보이는 반면에 DLG 값은 15 MV 경우 5% 이내의 차이를 보이고 6 MV에서는 최대 깊이인 15 cm에서 15% 이상 차이가 보였다. 실제의 경우 15 MV 경우 15 cm 깊이까지 DLG의 변화에 의한 실험과 계산의 차이가 작은 반면 6 MV 경우, 10 cm 이상의 깊이에서는 치료계획 시스템에서 계산된 값이 측정과 크게 차이를 나타냈다. 다엽콜리메이터 투과계수를 기준 조건하에서 측정한 고정된 값을 치료계획시스템에 적용하였을 때 측정 깊이에 따른 고정된 투과계수 값과 변화된 투과계수 값의 차이는 크지는 않지만 종양이 위치하는 깊이에 따라서 선량학적 영향이 나타날 수 있으므로 깊이에 따른 다엽콜리메이터 투과계수 및 DLG 값을 각각의 치료계획에 반영하여 환자 맞춤형 치료계획이 될 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.

  • Physical wedges still can be used as missing tissue compensators or filters to alter the shape of isodose curves in a target volume to reach an optimal radiotherapy plan without creating a hotspot. The aim of this study was to investigate the dosimetric properties of physical wedges filters such as off-axis photon fluence, photon spectrum, output factor and half value layer. The photon beam quality of a 6 MV Primus Siemens modified by 150 and 450 physical wedges was studied with BEAMnrc Monte Carlo (MC) code. The calculated present depth dose and dose profile curves for open and wedged photon beam were in good agreement with the measurements. Increase of wedge angle increased the beam hardening and this effect was more pronounced at the heal region. Using such an accurate MC model to determine of wedge factors and implementation of it as a calculation algorithm in the future treatment planning systems is recommended.

  • Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical and dosimetric factors associated with acute esophagitis (AE) in lung cancer patients treated with conformal radiotherapy (RT) in Turkey. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective review 104 lung cancer patients were examined. Esophagitis grades were verified weekly during treatment, and at 1 week, and 1 and 2 months afterwards. The clinical parameters included patient age, gender, tumor pathology, number of chemotherapy treatments before RT, concurrent chemotherapy, radiation dose, tumor response to RT, tumor localization, interruption of RT, weight loss, tumor and nodal stage and tumor volume. The following dosimetric parameters were analyzed for correlation of AE: The maximum ($D_{max}$) and mean ($D_{mean}$) doses delivered to the esophagus, the percentage of esophagus volume receiving ${\geq}10$ Gy ($V_{10}$), ${\geq}20$ Gy ($V_{20}$), ${\geq}30$ Gy ($V_{30}$), ${\geq}35$ Gy ($V_{35}$), ${\geq}40$ Gy ($V_{40}$), ${\geq}45$ Gy ($V_{45}$), ${\geq}50$ Gy ($V_{50}$) and ${\geq}60$ Gy ($V_{60}$). Results: Fifty-five patients (52.9%) developed AE. Maximum grades of AE were recorded: Grade 1 in 51 patients (49%), and Grade 2 in 4 patients (3.8%). Clinical factors had no statistically significant influence on the incidence of AE. In terms of dosimetric findings, correlation analyses demonstrated a significant association between AE and $D_{max}$ (>5117 cGy), $D_{mean}$ (>1487 cGy) and $V_{10-60}$ (percentage of volume receiving >10 to 60 Gy). The most significant relationship between RT and esophagitis were in $D_{max}$ (>5117 cGy) (p=0.002) and percentage of esophageal volume receiving >30 Gy ($V_{30}$ >31%) (p=0.008) in the logistic regression analysis. Conclusions: The maximum dose esophagus greater than 5117 cGy and approximately one third (31%) of the esophageal volume receiving >30 Gy was the most statistically significant predictive factor associated with esophagitis due to RT.
