          Abstract

          Resumen: Este trabajo se realizó en el Servicio de Radioterapia de un Centro Oncológico Integral de la ciudad de Asunción, donde se encuentra la unidad de Acelerador Lineal (LINAC) marca ELEKTA, modelo INFINITY con energía nominal de fotones de 6 MV y 10 MV. La Dosimetría in vivo en Radioterapia de haz externo con Acelerador Lineal (Teleterapia) está basada en las mediciones con el Detector Electrónico de Imagen Portal de Silicio Amorfo (ASIP) o panel detector, el cual ofrece una solución más general, mediante la detección de errores y fallas en la distribución de dosis al paciente durante el tratamiento de distintas patologías oncológicas, con el fin de lograr una mayor precisión en dosis administrada al paciente ya que existe una probabilidad de complicaciones si los valores de dosis son superiores a los prescritos. Se tuvo en cuenta consideraciones especiales y rigurosas en los procesos de calibración del panel detector que fue utilizado en forma conjunta con el LINAC para la medición de dosis absolutas. Se identificaron los procedimientos para un control de calidad en Teleterapia basados en los resultados de la calibración del panel detector que garanticen la detección de errores y fallas en las mediciones de dosis durante el tratamiento. La metodología consistió en la utilización de técnicas de administración de irradiación en aire o irradiación directa del panel (pretratamiento) y en tránsito a través de fantomas de agua sólida. Los resultados obtenidos indican que la calibración es altamente aceptable, lo cual implica que el método puede utilizarse juntamente con los planes de tratamiento del LINAC.

          Abstract: This work was carried out at the Radiotherapy Department of a Comprehensive Oncology Center in the city of Asunción, where an ELEKTA brand INFINITY Linear Accelerator (LINAC) unit is located, with nominal photon energies of 6 MV and 10 MV. In vivo dosimetry in external beam radiotherapy with a Linear Accelerator (Teletherapy) is based on measurements using the Amorphous Silicon Image Portal Electronic Detector (ASIP) or detector panel, which offers a comprehensive solution by detecting errors and faults in the dose distribution to the patient during the treatment of arious oncological pathologies. The aim is to achieve greater precision in the administered dose to the patient, as there is a probability of complications if dose values exceed the prescribed levels. Special and rigorous considerations were considered in the calibration processes of the detector panel, which was used in conjunction with the LINAC for absolute dose measurements. Procedures for quality control in Teletherapy were identified based on the results of the detector panel calibration, ensuring the detection of errors and faults in dose measurements during treatment. The methodology involved the use of irradiation administration techniques in air or direct panel irradiation (pre-treatment), as well as irradiation while passing through solid water phantoms. The obtained results indicate that the calibration is highly acceptable, implying that the method can be used in conjunction with LINAC treatment plans.

            Identification of treatment error types for lung cancer patients using convolutional neural networks and EPID dosimetry.

            Electronic portal imaging device (EPID) dosimetry aims to detect treatment errors, potentially leading to treatment adaptation. Clinically used threshold classification methods for detecting errors lead to loss of information (from multi-dimensional EPID data to a few numbers) and cannot be used for identifying causes of errors. Advanced classification methods, such as deep learning, can use all available information. In this study, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were trained to detect and identify error type and magnitude of simulated treatment errors in lung cancer patients. The purpose of this simulation study is to provide a proof-of-concept of CNNs for error identification using EPID dosimetry in an in vivo scenario.
