Cumulativ histograms were used to the evaluate dosimetric follows: CTV volume covering the prescription isodo covered by 100% (Vp,100%), 150% (Vp,150%) and isodose, dose received by 100% and 90% of the PTV vol Dp,90%), volume of rectum receiving 12.5Gy and 7.8G Vr,7.8Gy), dose received by 2cc volume of rectum received by the 30% and 10% of the urethra volu Du,10%), volume of urethra receiving 15.0Gy conformality index. Paired Student’s‘t’ test was us results. Results: There was no significant difference in the vol covered by the prescription isodose [99.6% ± 0.4 (SB 0.9 (HDRBT)], Dp,90% [13.6Gy ± 0.1 (SBRT)vs. 13.0Gy and in the conformality index [0.78 ± 0.04 (SBRT)v (HDRBT)]. The Cyberknife technique gave statistica better PTV coverage (Vp,100%), than HDRBT [98.5% ± 1.8; P<0.0005]. The mean Vp,150% was 0 (SBRT 2.6(HDRBT); (P<0.0005) and Vp,200% was 0 (SBRT) v (P<0.0005). The Dr,2cc was always higher in Cy [10.5Gy± 0.8 vs. 8.7Gy ± 1.1; P<0.0005). The Vr,1 Vu,15Gy were both 0cc with either technique.

Conclusions: Both HDRBT and Cyberknife SBRT ca produce acceptable dose distributions for localised p but with different dosimetric characteristics.

Th traditionally resorted to different techniques of ov using more than one isocenter. In this paper we w feasibility of using the possibilities of inverse optimiz using multiple isocenters VMAT. Materials and Methods: We will use Philips Pinna planning system with SmartArc module, usin BeamModulator (16x21 cm maximum field) and Varian cases are considered with both MLC models: theore head and neck and prostate patients. The treatment cover the treatment volume with multiple isocen beams, allowing overlap between consecutive arcs. A clinically acceptable dosimetry we will do an analysis treatment setup, displacing isocenters 5mm and study of the overlap region. Results: The VMAT beams muste arranged overlaping order to allow the optimization algorithm to pro transition without steep gradients. Minor overlap pr gradients and are more sensitive to setup errors, and increases the number of isocenters, beams and optim the three cases we obtain a clinically acceptable so also less sensitive to setup errors of the different conventional bonding fields.

Conclusions: The use of inverse planning and VMAT SmartArc module allows the planning of volumes larg limitations of our collimator field, keeping the tre similar values, and less sensitivity to patient setu compared to conventional techniques.

COPPER FOIL THICKNESS

MEASUREMENT

Asoma Instruments Inc., Austin, Texas

Asoma’s Application Report 2999 studies methods for measuring copper foil in the 20 to 1,000 mi- cron range. By using an X-ray transmission technique the thick- ness of the foil can be determined by measuring attenuation of char- acteristic X-rays emitted from some base material, providing an accurate, precise measurement in-process without damaging the finished product.
