PLAN TO DOSE COMPARISON (Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V0dZJ_mchY)
In this Section the comparison of an IMRT treatment plan to a dose map calculated from
a patient film is described. The description that follows uses the image and data files
provided along with the installation of the FilmQA
Pro application. It builds on the
example contained in the Calibration and Dose Map Sections of this User Manual.
Everything needed for the example is contained in Program Files/Ashland Advanced
Materials/FilmQA Pro 2013/Image/Example EBT2 IMRT. The example assumes that the
calibration films and dose map film in the Example EBT2 IMRT folder have been used
to calculate a dose map using triple channel dosimetry.
Under the Case Object Management” heading in the Case data selector window
choose “Add new case object”. Select “Dose to plan comparison” from the drop
down menu and click the “+” sign to expand the selection. The following items appear
under the branch:
Data-Treatment plan (empty): Location for the treatment plan
Data Dose map (read only): Location for dose map created in last section
Data Dose map registered (empty read only): Not used
Data Comparison dose to plan (empty read only): Not used
Dependence Dose map (single scan): Right click and specify which dose
map to use if the case has multiple dose maps
Tool image comparer: Click on this tool to start the image comparer the
images from the treatment film and treatment plan are overlaid and displayed in
the Image Panel.
Since the example case contains a dose map, it is automatically loaded into the slot
“Data –dose map (read only)” as indicated by the appearance of the thumbnail image
in the display. If a case contains multiple dose maps the first dose map in the case is
automatically loaded. So if comparison of one of the other dose maps to plan is
required, right click on the line “Dependence-dose map (single scan)” and select the
Dose Map required from the drop down list.
