Abstract

In order to improve the safety and treatment quality of patients in radiotherapy, it is necessary to verify the dose delivery in radiotherapy. EPID has the advantages of fast acquisition speed, large imaging area, high resolution, good linear response and long-term stability, and has been used in the quality verification of radiotherapy. EPID is used to place under the patient during in vivo dose verification. The distance between the patient and the EPID will affect the pixel value of the EPID. In order to accurately use EPID for radiation therapy dose verification, we used a series of measurement data to model the attenuation coefficient and exit gap of the EPID. The EPID transmission image calculated using the modeling data is compared with the actual measured EPID transmission image to verify the accuracy of the model.
