IMRT plan verification with EBT2 and EBT3 films compared to PTW 2D-ARRAY seven29

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The aim of this study was to compare dosimetry with Gafchromic EBT2 and EBT3 films to the ion chamber array PTW seven29 in terms of their performance in clinical IMRT plan verification. A methodology for film processing and calibration was developed. Calibration curves were obtained in MATLAB and in FilmQA Pro. The best calibration curve was then used to calibrate EBT2 and EBT3 films for IMRT plan verification measurements. Films were placed in several coronal planes into an RW3 slab phantom and irradiated with a clinical IMRT plan for prostate and lymph nodes using 18 MV photon beams. Individual fields were tested and irradiated with gantry at 0°. Results were evaluated using gamma analysis with 3%/3 mm criteria in OmniPro I’mRT version 1.7. The same measurements were performed with the ion chamber array PTW seven29 in RW3 slabs (different depths) and in the OCTAVIUS II phantom (isocenter depth only; both original and nominal gantry angles). Results were evaluated in PTW VeriSoft version 3.1 using the same criteria. Altogether, 45 IMRT planes were tested with film and 25 planes with the PTW 2D-ARRAY seven29. Film measuerements showed different results than ion chamber matrix measurements. With PTW 2D-ARRAY seven29, worse results were obtained when the detector was placed into the OCTAVIUS phantom than into the RW3 slab phantom, and the worst pass rates were seen for rotational measurements. EBT2 films showed inconsistent results and could differ significantly for different planes in one field. EBT3 films seemed to give the best results of all the tested configurations.
