Evaluation of Film and 3D Printed Patient-Specific Phantom for Minibeam Radiation Therapy (MBRT) Dosimetry

Authors: Darwin Abraham Garcia, Michael P. Grams, Scott C Lester, Maryam Mashayekhi, Douglas John Moseley, Robert W Mutter, Sean S Park, Chrystian Quintero Mateus

Affiliation: Mayo Clinic - Rochester, Mayo Clinic

Abstract Preview: Purpose: MBRT delivers sub-millimeter wide regions of high β€œpeak” (~10s Gy) and low β€œvalley” (~1 Gy) doses to treat cancer. MBRT commissioning is performed in flat, uniform plastic water. Thus, differ...

Affiliation: University of SΓ£o Paulo (USP), Institute of Physics

Abstract Preview: Purpose: This study investigates the feasibility of 3D printing materials in creating anthropomorphic kidney phantoms that accurately simulate the radiological properties of human tissues, for applica...

Feasibility of a Normoxic N-Vinylpyrrolidone-Based Polymer Gel (VIPET) Dosimeter for Three-Dimensional Proton Beam Measurements

Authors: Yoshihiko Hoshino, Kenji Hotta, Taeko Matsuura, Ai Nakaoka, Hidenobu Tachibana

Affiliation: Hokkaido University, Department of Radiology, Gunma University Hospital, Radiation Safety and Quality Assurance Division, National Cancer Center Hospital East

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Gel dosimeters enable three-dimensional dose measurements, but no reports have evaluated the fundamental performance of VIPER-type gel dosimeters in proton beam measurements. Therefore, we ev...

Monte Carlo Evaluation of Water-Equivalent Materials for Nanowire-Based Oslds in Flash Radiotherapy

Authors: James Chun Lam Chow, Harry E Ruda

Affiliation: University of Toronto, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre

Abstract Preview: Purpose: FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) with dose rate greater than 40 Gy/s, has demonstrated potential in reducing normal tissue toxicity while maintaining tumor control. However, accurate and reliabl...

On Dosimetric Water Equivalency of 3D Printed Materials

Authors: Emily Helen Hayes, Luke Maloney

Affiliation: University of Florida

Abstract Preview: Purpose: To determine the dosimetric water equivalency of polylactic acid (PLA) and commercial 3D printing resin using electron stopping power as a surrogate, for use in radiochromic film calibration ...
