lüll Developments in electronic portal imaging systems Kirby MC; Glendinning AGBr J Radiol 2006[Sep]; 79 Spec No 1 (ä): S50-65Verification of geometric accuracy at the time of treatment delivery has always been a necessary part of the radiotherapy process. Since the introduction of conformal and intensity-modulated radiotherapy, the consequences of patient positioning errors are more serious. Portal imaging has played a large part in fulfilling the need for improved geometric accuracy. This review examines how portal imaging has progressed through the development and evolution of electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs). Changes in technology, including the current commercial systems, and how image quality has changed are presented. The clinical usage of EPIDs and the technological innovations being devised for further improvements in image quality and systems are considered.|Artifacts[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Movement[MESH]|Phantoms, Imaging[MESH]|Photography[MESH]|Quality Control[MESH]|Radiography/*trends[MESH]|Technology, Radiologic/*trends[MESH]|X-Rays[MESH] |
