lüll Portal imaging Langmack KABr J Radiol 2001[Sep]; 74 (885): 789-804Portal imaging is the acquisition of images with a radiotherapy beam. Imaging theory suggests that the quality of portal images could be much higher if the efficiency of the imaging media in detecting radiation could be improved. Introduction of new media (films and electronic portal imaging devices) has confirmed this by markedly increasing the quality of portal images. Images from these devices can then be used to verify a patient's treatment. Geometric verification requires the portal image to be registered with a reference image. Dosimetric verification requires the portal imager to be calibrated for dose. This review gives a brief overview of the current areas of interest in portal imaging: imaging theory; imaging media, film and electronic portal imaging devices; image registration; and dosimetry using these devices.|Humans[MESH]|Radiometry/instrumentation/methods[MESH]|Radiotherapy Planning, Computer-Assisted/*methods[MESH]|Radiotherapy, High-Energy/*methods[MESH]|X-Ray Film[MESH] |
