Dosimetric effect of respiratory motion on planned dose in whole-breast volumetric modulated arc therapy using moderate and ultra-hypofractionation.
2021
Abstract Background and purpose The interplay effect of respiratory motion on the planned dose in free-breathing right-sided whole-breast irradiation (WBI) were studied by simulating hypofractionated VMAT treatment courses. Materials and methods Ten patients with phase-triggered 4D-CT images were included in the study. VMAT plans targeting the right breast were created retrospectively with moderately hypofractionated (40.05 Gy in 15 fractions of 2.67 Gy) and ultra-hypofractionated (26 Gy 5 fractions of 5.2 Gy) schemes. 3D-CRT plans were generated as a reference. All plans were divided into respiratory phase-specific plans and calculated in the corresponding phase images. Fraction-specific d…
Robustness of radiation beam profile measurements
2023
In this master’s thesis, profile measurements of PTW Semiflex 3D and PTW Semiflex ionisation chambers in addition to IBA MatriXX matrix detector were compared to each other using different measurement set-ups. The ionisation chamber measure- ments were done in a water phantom in horizontal and vertical orientations. Using two different set-ups in the horizontal orientation. The first horizontal set-up used the current clinical quality assurance program in Tampere University Hospital with the wire of the chamber lying deep in the water phantom. The second horizontal measurements were done with more of the wire in the radiation field by having the wire closer to the surface of the water. Meas…
Technical note : Simulation of lung counting applications using Geant4
2023
A Geant4 simulation package has been developed to investigate and test detector configurations for lung counting applications. The objective of this study was to measure radiation emitted from the human body and to make a qualitative comparison of the results of the simulation with an experiment. Experimental data were measured from a plastic phantom with a set of lungs containing 241Am activity. For comparison, simulations in which 241Am activity was uniformly distributed inside the lungs of the ICRP adult reference computational phantom were made. The attenuation of photons by the chest wall was simulated and from this photopeak ef-ficiency and photon transmission were calculated as a fun…

Tietokonetomografian annosmittaukset : kalibrointikäytännöt ja epävarmuudet
2015
Tietokonetomografiassa säteilyannoksen määrittämiseen käytettävät ionisaatiokammiot kalibroidaan tavallisimmin vapaasti ilmassa suhteessa ilmakermaan. Kalibrointikäytännöistä voi kuitenkin aiheutua epävarmuutta annoksen määrittämiseen fantomimittauksissa, sillä olosuhteet fantomissa ovat erilaiset kuin vapaasti ilmassa. Tässä työssä tutkittiin kalibrointikäytännöistä johtuvia epävarmuuksia annosmittauksissa. Työn kokeellisessa osassa mitattiin erään puikkomaisen ionisaatiokammion energiavaste ja näiden tulosten pohjalta mallinnettiin kammio Monte Carlo -menetelmällä tehtäviä simulaatioita varten. Kammion mallintamisen jälkeen simulaatioissa tutkittiin absor…
