Description
VMAT Rapid Arc is a new method of treatment responsible for a change in the setting of radiotherapy, bringing benefits and allowing a lower toxicity in the treatment of patients. With this treatment is possible to minimize the radiation dose to the healthy tissues and escalate the dose to the target volume (tumor) (Hall, 1998; Mundt, 2005; Bortfeld, 2006). The quality assurance is essential to verify the operation of all components involved in the process of treatment planning and dose delivery. Several organizations recommended the verification of patient dose for quality improvement in radiotherapy and the recommended maximum values for the uncertainty in the dose range of ± 5% (ICRU, 1976, AAPM, 1983). This paper aims to evaluate the feasibility of applying LiF:Mg,Ti micro dosimeters as a new method of dosimetry to VMAT Rapid Arc. (Author)
