Deformable Scintillation Dosimeter II: Real-Time Simultaneous Measurements of Dose and Tracking of Deformation Vector Fields
Emily Cloutier, Luc Beaulieu, Louis Archambault
Anatomical motion and deformation pose challenges to the understanding of the delivered dose distribution during radiotherapy treatments. Hence, deformable image registration (DIR)…
Deformable Scintillation Dosimeter I: Challenges and Implementation using Computer Vision Techniques
Emily Cloutier, Louis Archambault, Luc Beaulieu
Plastic scintillation detectors are increasingly used to measure dose distributions in the context of radiotherapy treatments. Their water-equivalence, real-time response and high…
On the use of machine learning methods for mPSD calibration in HDR brachytherapy
Haydee M. Linares Rosales, Gabriel Couture, Louis Archambault +3
Purpose: We sought to evaluate the feasibility of using machine learning algorithms for multipoint plastic scintillator detector calibration in high-dose-rate brachytherapy. Method…
Dosimetric performance of a multi-point plastic scintillator dosimeter as a tool for real-time source tracking in high dose rate brachytherapy
Haydee M. Linares Rosales, Louis Archambault, Sam Beddar +1
Purpose: To present the performance of a multi-point plastic scintillation detector (mPSD) as a tool in vivo dosimetry in brachytherapy. Methods: A previously optimized three-point…
Optimization of a multipoint plastic scintillator dosimeter for high dose rate brachytherapy
Haydee M. Linares Rosales, Patricia Duguay-Drouin, Louis Archambault +2
Purpose: This study aims to optimize and characterize the response of a mPSD for in vivo dosimetry in HDR brachytherapy. Methods: An exhaustive analysis was carried out in order to…
