1 Measurement of Dose to Implanted Cardiac Devices in Radiotherapy Patients Moyed Miften, PhD Professor and Chief Physicist University of Colorado Chester Reft, PhD Associate Professor University of Chicago
2 Acknowledgments Dimitris Mihailidis, PhD Members of AAPM TG203
3 Dose Estimation to Cardiac Devices Out-of-field/peripherial doses Head Scatter + Head Leakage + Internal Scatter 10 to 20 cm internal (patient) scatter dominates collimator and head scatter contribute 30 cm internal scatter and head leakage approximately equal, collimator scatter decreases > 30 cm head leakage dominates
4 Out-of- Field/Peripherial Doses Calculations Lookup tables/graphs Measurements In-Vivo Dosimeter Characteristics Real time Passive
5 Accuracy of out-of-field dose calculations RPC Study out-of-field dose Phys. Med. Biol. 55 (2010) Rando Phantom Slices 20 to 25 Mantle Field AP/PA 6 MV 30 Gy delivered to isocenter Measure the dose out-of-field
6 TPS vs. Measurements
7 TPS Calculations for out-offield doses are NOT accurate Range of cm from the field edge the TPS underestimates the dose by <40% ± 20%> As distance from field edge increases, the TPS increasingly underestimates the dose D(TPS) varies with depth, whereas D(meas) shows little variation with depth
8 Dose Calc: Photon out-of-filed dose
9 Peripheral Doses in Photon Beams
10 Dose Estimation: Photon out-of-filed dose 1.0 Leakage Dose decreases ~ 0.8 exponentially away from edge of field Fraction of Dose 0.6 with field size 0.4 Patient scatter Collimator scatter 1995 S. Kry, 2009 Const. 0.2with energy Const. with depth S. Kry, Distance from field edge (cm)
11 What about IMRT? Fraction of Dose Leakage Patient scatter Collimator scatter Distance from field edge (cm) S. Kry, 2009
12 What about SBRT and filter-free beams?
13 Dose estimation: Proton out-offield dose How much dose equivalent is there? Conventional photon therapy Variations in beam Photons: parameters More Beam energy, dose near SOBP, aperture, treatment air gap field Comparable dose Variations beyond in experimental cm designfrom field edge Size and material of phantom, manufacturer of accelerator Challenges in Dosimetry Lack of high energy response Xu, 2008, Phys Med Biol Unique machines Courtesy of S. Kry
14 Out-of-Field Dose Measurements Requirements: Sensitivity Energy Dependence Size TLDs / OSLDs / Diodes

22 Sensitivity Loss with Dose
23 Energy Dependence for MV Photon Beams AAPM Summer School 2009 (Saini and Zhu, 2007)
24 Directional Dependence
25 Diode as an in-vivo dosimeter Advantages: Higher relative sensitivity Quick response (1 10 s) Good mechanical stability No external bias needed Small size Smaller energy dependence of mass collision stopping power ratios (between silicon and water compared to air and water) Disadvantages: Dependence on temperature, dose rate, energy dependence, angle Require an electrical connection during irradiation

35 Advantages of TLDs Wide useful dose range mrad 10 2 cgy(linearity) Dose-rate independence cgy/s Angular independence Reusability Readout convenience Economy Availability of different types and sizes Automation compatibility Accuracy and precision
36 Disadvantages of TLDs Lack of uniformity No immediate read-out Fading Light sensitivity Memory of radiation and thermal history Reader instability Loss of reading
37 Advantages of OSLDs Easier read-out procedure Re-read the detector Easier individual identification Optical bleaching easier than thermal annealing to remove radiation effects Angular independence Accuracy and precision
38 Disadvantages of OSLDs Encapsulated in light tight plastic housing Optical bleaching cannot clear all the radiation effects increased background signal Sensitivity changes with accumulated doses > 20 Gy
39 Comparison of Out-of-Field dose measurements with different detectors Detectors centered 10 cm from field edge of 10x10 cm 2 at a depth of 1.5 cm with no correction except for calibration 6 MV, 600 MUs, SSD=100 cm Property Ion Chamber 0.1 cc TLD x.035 x.089 cm 3 OSLD Surface Diode Table Dose (cgy) σ(1 SD) ±0.1 ±0.2 ±0.2 ± D(det)/D(Ion)
40 Summary Measurement useful to document dose to the device and compare to TPS calculation TLDs, OSLDs and diodes are appropriate detectors for these measurements Ignore detector CFs provide an upper dose value TPS calcs are not accurate to estimate the dose to cardiac devices outside the field edge
