Dosimetric IMRT verification with a flat-panel EPID
Brad Warkentin,Brad Warkentin,S Steciw,Satyapal Rathee,Satyapal Rathee,B. G. Fallone,B. G. Fallone +6 more
TL;DR: A convolution-based calibration procedure has been developed to use an amorphous silicon flat-panel electronic portal imaging device (EPID) for accurate dosimetric verification of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) treatments.

TU‐C‐M100F‐01: Development of a Linac‐MRI System for Real‐Time ART
B. G. Fallone,Marco Carlone,Brad Murray,Satyapal Rathee,T Stanescu,S Steciw,Keith Wachowicz,Charles Kirkby +7 more
TL;DR: The novel design of the coupling an of MRI to a medical linac to provide real‐time tracking of the tumor and healthy tissues during irradiation by the treatment beam is described to be a practical, viable and realizable within a reasonable time frame.

An evaluation of the Clarity 3D ultrasound system for prostate localization
Don Robinson,Don Robinson,Derek Liu,Derek Liu,S Steciw,S Steciw,Colin Field,Colin Field,Helene Daly,Elantholi P. Saibishkumar,Gino Fallone,Gino Fallone,Matthew Parliament,Matthew Parliament,John Amanie,John Amanie +15 more
TL;DR: Despite an expert reanalysis of the original data, the Clarity ultrasound system failed to deliver an acceptable level of geometric accuracy required for modern radiotherapy purposes.

Modeling scintillator-photodiodes as detectors for megavoltage CT
TL;DR: A model describing the signal acquired from a scintillation detector has been developed and is sufficiently accurate for designing appropriate detectors for megavoltage computed tomography (MVCT).

Effect of longitudinal magnetic fields on a simulated in-line 6 MV linac.
TL;DR: The design of a new linac-MR system with the in-line 6 MV linac generating x-rays along the symmetry axis of an open MR imager is outlined, allowing for a greater MR field strength to achieve better quality images while reducing hot and cold spots in treatment planning.
