- W2097629062 abstract "Purpose: A prototype scanner for large-volume megavoltage computed tomography (MVCT) in a clinical set-up is described. The ultimate aim is to improve treatment accuracy in conformal radiotherapy through patient set-up error reduction and transit dosimetry. Materials and methods: The scanner consists of a custom-built 2D CsI(Tl) crystal array viewed by a lens and a CCD camera. Image acquisition is synchronized with radiation pulses. The 2D projections resulting from a single continuous 360° gantry rotation are reconstructed using a cone-beam tomography algorithm. Prior to reconstruction, the raw projections are calibrated and corrected for centre of rotation movement and accelerator output fluctuation. The performance of the system has been evaluated by reconstructing projections of open fields, test objects and a humanoid phantom. Results: Hundreds of 2D projections can be acquired with a clinically-acceptable data collection time (about 2 min) and dose (approximately 40 cGy, with a possible four-fold reduction). A maximum density resolution of about 2% is achieved offering some soft tissue discrimination without using image enhancement tools. A spatial resolution of 2.5 mm is obtained. The reconstructed image intensity is linear with electron density over the range of interest. Coronal or sagittal slices through the 3D reconstruction of the humanoid phantom show a better delineation of structures than the corresponding portal images taken at the same orientation. Conclusions: A similar image quality to our current single-slice MVCT scanner is achieved with the advantage of providing tens of tomographic slices for a single gantry rotation. This work demonstrates the feasibility of clinical cone-beam MVCT and indicates how this prototype can be improved." @default.
