Abstract

Continuous gantry motion, continuous beam modulation, and variable dose rate are used in volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) to obtain highly conformal radiation therapy dose distributions. Several errors during daily radiation therapy treatment can be sources of uncertainties in dose delivery. These errors include monitor unit calculation errors and other human mistakes. Due to the uncertainties in the excessively modulated VMAT plan, the intended dose distribution is not delivered perfectly, leading to a mismatch between the measured and planned dose distributions. This necessitates an extensive and effective quality assurance (QA) program for both machine and patient. In this study, VMAT QA plan verification of 62 head and neck (HN) and 19 prostate cases was done using Octavius 4D setup with its associating VeriSoft gamma analysis software. The plans showed a maximum 3D gamma passing rate with 4 mm/3 % gamma acceptance criteria, i.e., 99.7 % for the HN cancer cases and 99.5 % for the prostate cancer cases. Local gamma analysis was also performed for both regions. Furthermore, 2D and volumetric gamma analyses were also carried out. Gamma analysis with respect to different axis was also carried out. It was known that the transversal axis showed    the highest gamma passing rate in both HN and prostate cases, i.e., 99.17 % and 98.3 %, respectively. The transverse axis came to be a better fit for the planned dose distribution.

Abstract

Varian Halcyon 2.0 linear accelerator was launched and became available for clinical use in 2018. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the accuracy of exit fluence of the Halcyon 2.0 for quality assurance (QA) of head and neck cancer treatment planning, pretreatment, and treatment. The accuracy of the exit fluence for twenty treatment plannings has been evaluated by conducting gamma analysis for QA pretreatment and treatment in each field and composite field by using criteria for gamma index 3 %/3 mm and 2 %/2 mm. The QA pretreatment results are in the average value for each criterion for each field and composite fields on actual gantry angle and null gantry angle with gamma passing rate (GPR) of over 99 % (range 99.78 %-99.95 %) The total treatments consisted of 2717 fractions. The analysis results of GPR for fields were 99.32 % and 97.74 % for gamma indexes of 3 %/3 mm and 2 %/2 mm, respectively. In addition, the analysis results of GPR for composites were 95.46 % and 81.38 % for gamma indexes of 3 %/3 mm and 2 %/2 mm, respectively. Based on this result, the average GPRs of QA pretreatment are ≈ 99 % of the total pixels. This means the prediction dose of Varian Halcyon 2.0 is accurate. The average GPRs of treatment is nearly  90 %, showing that Varian Halcyon 2.0 is effective for creating treatment plans for complex cases.

Abstract

Parameters for determining computed tomography (CT) image quality include noise and low-contrast detectability. Studies on low-contrast detectability using the AAPM CT performance phantom have several limitations, such as the absence of quantitative information on the effect of noise and object size on low-contrast detectability. In this study, the quantitative effect of noise and object diameter on low-contrast detectability were investigated. Images of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) CT performance phantom model 610 were acquired with a tube voltage of 120 kV and tube currents of 50, 100, 150, and 200 mA. The low-contrast section of the AAPM CT performance phantom model 610 has objects with diameters between 2.5 and 7.5 mm. We analysed the mean CT number, noise level, signal-to noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), acquired using MatLab software. The results obtained indicate that noise and object size affect low-contrast detectability. The CNRs increase linearly with increasing of object diameter with R2 of 0.88, 0.67, 0.75, and 0.83 for tube currents of 50, 100, 150 and 200 mA, respectively.

Abstract

A two-dimensional numerical model for radon transport based on the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method have been developed. The model is governed by the radon transport equation taking into account the mechanisms of diffusion, advection, and decay. The purpose of this model is to simulate the evolution of radon concentration which can be influenced by various parameters including depth and diffusion coefficient of the soil layer plus the velocity and initial concentration of radon. The obtained results were compared to an analytical solution to demonstrate the ability of this model for predicting the spatio-temporal evolution of radon transport in the porous media of soil layers.

Abstract

The application of nuclear technology in the health sector is increasing. One example is the use of irradiation in production of wound dressings. Research activities have been conducted to study whether polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-gelatin-based hydrogel from white snapper scales can be processed using gamma irradiation into wound dressings. A series of PVA (10 %) solutions containing gelatin in various concentrations (0-4 %) were treated with three freeze-thaw cycles and then irradiated at doses of 10 and 20 kGy. They were subsequently characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Gel fraction, water absorption, and percentage of hydrogel water evaporation rate were tested gravimetrically, while the elongation at break and the tensile strength of the hydrogels were tested with a universal testing meter. The evaluation showed that the hydrogel gel fraction decreased with increasing gelatin concentration from 0 % to 4 % for both irradiation doses (10 and 20 kGy). The rising gelatin concentration demonstrated that increasing gamma radiation dose improved the hydrogel's water absorption, evaporation rate, tensile strength, and elongation at break. PVA-gelatin hydrogel with irregular pore structure was observed from SEM test results. The FTIR measurement results confirmed the formation of crosslinks in the hydrogel matrix. The PVA-gelatin hydrogel produced through gamma irradiation could be used for wound dressings.
