Abstract:
Abstract The whole treatment process undergone by patients in clinics with Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) can be tested by implementing 3D end-to-end (E2E) quality assurance with gel dosimetry. In this work, a 3D E2E test was performed in a head phantom for the verification of a VMAT treatment, using FXG (Fricke-Xylenol orange-Gelatin) gel dosimetry and a newly developed dual-wavelength reading method on a cone-beam optical CT scanner. This dosimetric method intends to enable accurate measurements in the out-of-field zone and in the tumor volume, with an effective dose range up to 10 Gy. CT images of the phantom with a gel flask were used to create a treatment plan with a brain tumor of complex shape. A very good agreement between 90 %, 80 %, 60 % and 40 % isodose curves and high 3D γ passing rates (2%/2mm) of 98.6 % and 96.7 % between measured and computed dose maps showed that E2E tests can be successfully implemented with this novel dosimetric method.

Abstract:
Abstract 3D polymer gel dosimetry is a promising means to verify complex radiation treatments such as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), as it provides both 3D dosimetric and spatial information. The purpose of the study is to use a polymer gel read-out with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to commission Varian’s HyperArc®-treatment planning and delivery. Three targets (3 cm, 2 cm, 1 cm diameter respectively) were defined on a treatment plan with a maximum dose of 25 Gy, resembling a single isocentre, multiple-lesion SRS plan. Pre- and post-irradiation CBCT images of the gel were obtained for dosimetry analysis. One slice containing two large targets was used to self-calibrate the entire gel volume for dose comparison. We were able to achieve sub-millimeter spatial accuracy and all evaluated gamma criterion (5% 1mm, 3% 1mm, 2% 1 mm were > 95%). In summary, in this study we have demonstrated that CBCT polymer gel dosimetry can be a highly valuable tool for commissioning complex radiation treatment techniques such as SRS.

Abstract:
Abstract At Lund University and Skåne University Hospital in Lund, Sweden, we have, as the first clinic, modified a clinical Elekta Precise linear accelerator for convertible delivery of ultra-high dose rate (FLASH) irradiation. Whereas recently published reviews highlighted the need for standardised protocols for ultra-high dose rate beam dosimetry to be able to determine the true potential of FLASH irradiation, several dosimetry studies as well as in-vitro and in-vivo experiments have been carried out at our unit. Dosimetric procedures for verification of accurate dose delivery of FLASH irradiation to cell cultures, zebrafish embryos and small animals have been established using radiochromic films and thermo-luminescent dosimeters. Also, recently the first experience of electron FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) in canine patients in our clinical setting was published. Our research facilities also include a laboratory for 3D polymer gel manufacturing. Recently, we started investigating the feasibility of a NIPAM polymer gel dosimeter for ultra-high dose rate dosimetry. Furthermore, in the bunker of the modified Elekta linear accelerator, a Surface Guided Radiotherapy (SGRT) system is accessible. The Catalyst™ system (C-Rad Positioning, Uppsala, Sweden) provides optical surface imaging for patient setup, real-time motion monitoring and breathing adapted treatment. Aiming at treating patients using ultra-high dose rates, a real-time validation of the alignment between the beam and the target is crucial as the dose is delivered in a fraction of a second. Our research group has during the last decade investigated and developed SGRT workflows which improved patient setup and breathing adapted treatment for several cancer patient groups. Recently, we also started investigating the feasibility of a real-time motion monitoring system for surface guided FLASH-RT. Both FLASH related studies; 3D polymer gel dosimetry and surface guided FLASH-RT are to our knowledge the first of their kind. Following an introduction to the field of FLASH and the associated dosimetric challenges, we here aim to present the two ongoing studies including some preliminary results.

Abstract:
Polymer gel dosimeter is a radiation sensitive chemical dosimeter that can measure 3 D dose distribution with high resolution. Due to the increasing complexity of radiotherapy treatment planning and delivery, accurate experimental radiation dosimetry plays an important role in the implementation and quality assurance of new treatment techniques. A polymer gel dosimeter must possess several important characteristics of a dosimeter to be able to measure absorbed dose precisely. two important dosimetric properties of a dosimeter were determined in this study; accuracy and precision. The MAGAT gels were made of 5% gelatin, 6% methacrylic acid and 10 mM tetrakis-hydroxy-methyl-phosphonium chloride (THPC). The irradiation of MAGAT gel was performed by 6-MV photon beam at a dose range 1 to 10 Gy and was imaged by 1.5 T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The dose response of MAGAT gel dosimeter was obtained from spin-spin relaxation rate (R2) of MRI signal. The accuracy of MAGAT gel dosimeter has a range within 4% for doses greater than and equal to 3 Gy. The reproducibility of the MAGAT gel dosimeter at one irradiation was less than 1% whilst the long term reproducibility was within 3% over the five month period. For temporal stability, the dose sensitivity of MAGAT gel dosimeter irradiate at 1 to 11 days post-manufacturing decreased over time. While the dose sensitivity imaged at 1 to 9 days post-irradiation increased up to 4 days post-irradiation and subsequently starts decreasing after 4 days till 9 days. From the study of two dosimetric properties, MAGAT gel dosimeter shows a great dose response with a superior dose response. Thus the MAGAT gel dosimeter can be apply as a 3 D radiotherapy dosimeter.

Abstract:
Abstract Modern advancements in radiation therapy require paralleled advancements in the dosimetric tools used to verify dose distributions. Optical computed tomography (CT) imaged radiochromic gel dosimeters provide comprehensive, tissue equivalent, 3D dosimetric information with high spatial resolution and low imaging times. Traditional CT image reconstruction methods (filtered backprojection) do not account for light refraction within the optical CT system reducing the image quality. Iterative reconstruction methods make use of a system matrix that describes this light refraction thus, improving the reconstructed image quality. However, use of iterative reconstruction methods is not widespread, largely due to the impractical storage size of the required system matrix. Furthermore, current iterative reconstruction methods do not address the issue of image degradation due to a single detector element collecting light from multiple raypaths. For optical CT radiochromic gel dosimetry to be used effectively as a radiation therapy treatment plan verification tool, the system must be both practical and accurate. Thus, this work has two main objectives: (i) reduce the size of system matrices by means of polar coordinate discretization in lieu of the traditional Cartesian coordinate discretization, and (ii) reduce image degradation due to multiple raypaths by a novel approach to populating the system matrix that accounts for multiple raypaths.

Abstract:
The goal of conformal radiotherapy is to concentrate the dose in a well-defined volume by avoiding the neighbouring healthy structures. This technique requires powerful treatment planning software and a rigorous control of estimated dosimetry. The usual dosimetric tools are not adapted to visualize and validate complex 3D treatment. Dosimetry by radiosensitive gel permits visualization and measurement of the three-dimensional dose distribution. The objective of this work is to report on current work in this field and, based on our results and our experience, to draw prospects for an optimal use of this technique. Further developments will relate to the realization of new radiosensitive gels satisfying, as well as possible, cost requirements, easy realization and use, magnetic resonance imagery (MRI) sensitivity, tissue equivalence, and stability. Other developments focus on scanning methods, especially in MRI to measure T1 and T2.Key words: gel dosimetry, radiation therapy, quality control.

Abstract:
Abstract Extremely important aspects of the boron neutron capture therapy are, first of all, administering to the patient a boron compound that selectively reaches the neoplastic cells, and in the second step, the verification of the irradiation process. This paper focuses on the latter aspect, which is the detailed dosimetry of the processes occurring after the reaction of thermal neutrons with the boron-10 isotope. The results of computer simulations with the use of a new type of human head phantom filled with a polymer dosimetric gel will be presented in this article.

Abstract:
Accurate dosimetric verification is becoming increasingly important in radiotherapy. Although polymer gel dosimetry may be useful for verifying complex 3D dose distributions, it has limitations for clinical application due to its strong reactivity with oxygen and other contaminants. Therefore, it is important that the material of the gel storage container blocks reaction with external contaminants. In this study, we tested the effect of air and the chemical permeability of various polymer-based 3D printing materials that can be used as gel containers. A methacrylic acid, gelatin, and tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride gel was used. Five types of printing materials that can be applied to the fused deposition modeling (FDM)-type 3D printer were compared: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), co-polyester (CPE), polycarbonate (PC), polylactic acid (PLA), and polypropylene (PP) (reference: glass vial). The map of R2 (1/T2) relaxation rates for each material, obtained from magnetic resonance imaging scans, was analyzed. Additionally, response histograms and dose calibration curves from the R2 map were evaluated. The R2 distribution showed that CPE had sharper boundaries than the other materials, and the profile gradient of CPE was also closest to the reference vial. Histograms and dose calibration showed that CPE provided the most homogeneous and the highest relative response of 83.5%, with 8.6% root mean square error, compared with the reference vial. These results indicate that CPE is a reasonable material for the FDM-type 3D printing gel container.

Abstract:
Os avanços nas técnicas de tratamento com radiação ionizante estão gerando distribuições de dose muito complexas que precisam ser verificadas antes da aplicação do tratamento no paciente. Diversos dosímetros já foram propostos para esta verificação, mas o que vem apresentando os melhores resultados são os géis poliméricos que permitem a visualização tridimensional da dose. Neste trabalho desenvolvemos um gel dosimétrico do tipo MAGIC com componentes nacionais, para baratear o custo e assim, facilitar a sua aplicação na rotina clínica. Nós adicionamos formaldeído ao gel para aumentar seu ponto de fusão e facilitar seu manuseio em temperatura ambiente. A avaliação das doses foi feita através da relaxometria em imagens de ressonância magnética nuclear (IRMN). Foi encontrada uma resposta linear para dose de até 15Gy e uma dependência energética significativa para feixes de baixa energia (kVp), enquanto que para alta energia (MV) a dependência encontrada foi pequena. A variação da resposta do dosímetro em função da taxa de dose da irradiação foi menor que 5% nas taxas de 100 a 600cGy/min. A adição de formaldeído não eliminou a dependência da resposta do dosímetro para variações na temperatura durante a aquisição das IRMN, já a integridade da distribuição de dose se manteve inalterada por um período de três meses na irradiação de um campo blindado ao meio. Medidas tridimensionais de distribuição de dose foram realizadas para dois planos de radioterapia com intensidade modulada de feixe o primeiro em um acelerador linear e o segundo em um equipamento de tomoterapia, grande semelhança entre a sobreposição das isodoses e dos perfis de dose das imagens medidas com o gel e esperadas pelo sistema de planejamento (TPS) foi encontrada. A avaliação realmente tridimensional foi feita com os histogramas dose-volume (DVH), sendo que uma sobreposição entre os DVHs calculados para o volume planejado e os esperados pelo TPS foi encontrada nos dois planejamentos. Por tudo o que foi estudado, pode-se concluir que a modificação realizada no gel MAGIC resultou em um dosímetro de fácil manuseio que pode ser aplicado para medidas tridimensionais.
Advances in the treatment techniques with ionizing radiation are resulting in complex dose distributions that need to be verified before the application of the treatment in the patient. Several dosimeters have been suggested for this application, but polymeric gel dosimeters are presenting the best results so far, since they allow three dimensional dose visualization, are tissue equivalent, don\'t have dependence with angular distribution of the incident radiation and have a high spatial resolution. In this work a polymeric gel dosimeter with national components, to reduce de costs and facilitate its introduction in the clinical practice was developed. Formaldehyde was added to the gel formulation to increase its melting temperature and facilitate its use in typical room temperatures found in our country. Dose response analysis was done using nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry. All the dosimetric characterization was done. We found a linear dose-response curve for doses until 15Gy and significant energy dependence for low energy beams (kVp), but for high energy beams (MV) this dependence is smaller. The response variation when varying the dose rate of irradiation was smaller than 5% in the dose rate range of clinical use in teletherapy (100-600cGy/min). The addition of formaldehyde did not eliminate the dosimeter dependence with variation of the scanning temperature; the integrity of dose distribution was unaltered at least for a tree month period of time in a half beam irradiation phantom. Tri-dimensional dose distributions were measured in two radiotherapy systems using intensity modulated beams, the first one in a linear accelerator and the second in a tomotherapy machine. A high similarity was found between the overlapping of isodoses and dose profiles of the dose distribution measured with the gel and expected by the treatment planning. The real tri- dimensional analysis was done with dose-volume histograms (DVH) and the DVHs measured for the planning volume and expected by the treatment planning were in good agreement. Our results show that the modification done in the gel formulation resulted in a dosimeter easy to handle and feasible for tri-dimensional measurements.

Abstract:
A International Comission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) recomenda que a incerteza total de um tratamento radioterápico não deva ultrapassar de 5%, ou seja, cada etapa do processo de entrega da dose absorvida ao volume alvo do paciente tenha incerteza menor que esse valor (ICRU 50, 1993; ICRU 62, 1999). O cuidado com essas incertezas inicia-se na instalação da máquina (neste caso, de um Acelerador Linear Clínico), passando pela sua aceitação, pelo comissionamento, perdurando nos controles de qualidade posteriores e até em novos comissionamentos, se necessários. Os parâmetros físicos dosimétricos mínimos necessários a serem comissionados para feixes de fótons e elétrons são: Porcentagem de Dose em Profundidade (PDD), Perfis de Campos abertos e filtrados, Fatores de Espalhamento Total (Scp), Cone (Fcone) e de Transmissão (de Filtros em cunha FF, Bandeja FB, e de Transmissão intra FMLC,intra e de fuga inter lâminas FMLC,inter), além da Determinação da Posição Virtual da Fonte de Elétrons através da SSD efetiva (SSDeff). Para tal, a American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), através do seu protocolo mais recente, apresenta objetos simuladores, tipos e tamanhos de detectores, arranjos e procedimentos experimentais específicos, através dos quais é possível inferir os parâmetros dosimétricos de feixes de fótons e elétrons, usando varredura destes com câmara de ionização (CI), considerando o erro total das medidas menor do que 1% (AAPM TG 106, 2008). Entretanto este mesmo protocolo cita de maneira sucinta ou pouco detalhada, a possibilidade da utilização de dosímetros tipo gel para o citado comissionamento, já que possuem diversas vantagens a serem consideradas na Radioterapia, como equivalência ao tecido mole (Z e ), independência energética num amplo intervalo de energia de fótons e elétrons, além da alta resolução espacial. Desta forma, o objetivo geral deste trabalho é apresentar de forma inédita, o comissionamento dos parâmetros físicos dosimétricos de aceleradores lineares clínicos (PFDALC), especificamente através do dosímetro Fricke Xilenol Gel (FXG), como método alternativo e/ou complementar aos internacionais vigentes. Para tal, neste trabalho foram desenvolvidos dispositivos e procedimentos que proporcionassem aos usuários uma forma prática, eficiente e de baixo custo para obtenção dos parâmetros citados através do FXG, em relação aqueles obtidos com a CI (método padrão). Todos os resultados dos parâmetros físicos dosimétricos obtidos com o dosímetro citado foram validados com a CI, considerando a incerteza preconizada para a mesma. Esses resultados sugerem que o FXG efetivamente poderá ser utilizado para o comissionamento de aceleradores lineares clínicos e que um protocolo específico para este dosímetro poderá ser gerado.
The International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) recommends that the total radiotherapy treatment uncertainty should not exceeds 5%, in other words, considering that each step involved in the absorbed dose delivery process should not surpass the cited value (ICRU 50, 1993; ICRU 62, 1999). The uncertainties considered are those involved with, the machine installation (in this work, a Clinical Linear Accelerator), its acceptance, commissioning, followed by those related to subsequent quality controls and even new commissioning, if necessary. The minimum required physical dosimetric parameters to be commissioned for electron or photon beams are: the Percentage Depth Dose (PDD), the filtered and open Field Profiles, Total Scatter Factors (Scp), Cone Factor (Fcone), Transmission Factors: Wedge Filter (FF), Tray (FB), intra Leaf (FMLC,intra) and inter Leaf Leakage (FMLC,inter), besides the Virtual Source Position Determination (SSDeff). For this purpose, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), through its last protocol, provides guidelines on phantom and detector selections, setting up of phantom for data acquisition (for scanning and no-scanning data), procedures for acquiring the cited beam parameters with ionizing chambers (CI) and methods to reduce the total measurement error lower than 1% (AAPM TG 106, 2008). However, this protocol does not present any information or details about the physical dosimetric parameters for clinical linear accelerators (PFDALC), through gel dosimeters once they present several useful advantages for Radiotherapy, such as: soft tissue equivalence (Z and ), wide energy independence range for photons or electrons beams and high spatial resolution. The scope of this work is to present an innovative way for physical dosimetric parameters commissioning, specifically using the Fricke Xylenol Gel (FXG) dosimeter, like an alternative and/or complementary method to that employed internationally. Devices and procedures have been developed for this work in order to infer the cited parameters, in a practical, efficient and low cost way, compared to that used with CI (standard method). All the FXG results obtained were validated with the CI, considering the uncertainty recommended for the last one. The results suggest that the FXG effectively can be used for physical dosimetric parameters commissioning for clinical linear accelerators and a new specific protocol can be generated.

Abstract:
A Radioterapia em arco modulado volumétrico (VMAT) é uma das modalidades mais avançadas em teleterapia para o tratamento de câncer. Os diversos avanços tecnológicos, bem como a evolução das técnicas de tratamento tornaram o VMAT como uma das modalidades de estado da arte para o tratamento de alguns cânceres. Parte deste avanço é creditada à melhoria na acurácia e na prescrição de dose absorvida recomendada ao paciente ao longo dos anos. Este avanço permite que atualmente seja possível realizar os cálculos dosimétricos, por meio de sistemas de planejamento computadorizado, considerando as heterogeneidades dos pacientes, tais como: tecidos e órgãos com composições diferentes da água (meio de referência em radioterapia), contorno do paciente individualizado e o movimento dos tumores com a respiração. Tais avanços demandam o controle de qualidade destas ferramentas, com objetivo de assegurar que todo o processo de tratamento seja satisfatório e acurado. A comunidade dispõe poucos sistemas experimentais capazes de avaliar, considerando os níveis de incerteza, se os sistemas de planejamento computadorizados são aptos a considerar a movimentação dos alvos nos tratamentos com VMAT. Neste trabalho serão apresentados os resultados obtidos empregando um objeto simulador Fricke Xylenol Gel, com capacidade de mensurar as diferenças introduzidas pela movimentação, utilizando Imagem por Ressonância Magnética - MRI e comparando qualitativamente e quantitativamente os resultados. São discutidas as principais etapas de desenvolvimento deste objeto simulador, seus resultados experimentais, conclusões.
Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) is one of the methods most commonly used in teletherapy to treat cancer. The various technological advances and the evolution of treatment techniques made the VMAT as one of the state of the art methods for the treatment of some cancers. Part of this improvement is credited to improvements in accuracy and prescription dose absorbed recommended to the patient over the years. This advance allows currently is possible to perform dosimetric calculations by means of the computerized planning system, considering the heterogeneity of patients, such as tissues and organs with different water compositions medium (reference radiation), and individual patient contour the movement of tumors breathing. Such advances require quality control of these tools, in order to ensure that the entire treatment process is satisfactory and accurate. Up to now, the community lacks an experimental system capable of evaluating, considering the uncertainty levels if the computerized planning systems are able to consider the movement of targets in the treatments with VMAT. In this paper, will be presented the results obtained with the phantom Fricke Xylenol Gel, capable of measuring the differences introduced by movement using the Magnetic Resonance Image - MRI and compared qualitatively and quantitatively. The main stages of the phantom development, their experimental results, conclusions and comparisons with other systems are discussed.

Abstract:
This thesis describes investigations into the design and evaluation of novel ultrasonic methods for 3-dimensional ionising radiation dose verification. Pulse-echo ultrasound methods were investigated for the measurement and analysis of complex radiation therapy dose delivery. The physical properties of MAGIC (Methacrylic and Ascorbic acid in Gelatin Initiated by Copper) polymer gel dosimeters have been characterized. The variations of speed of sound, ultrasonic attenuation coefficient and density of MAGIC gel with radiation dose and temperature have been quantified. This extends work that has previously been reported for the properties of this gel to the effect of measurement temperature on the results. The facilities to perform these measurements were specified, constructed and evaluated as part of the project. The measurement of radiation dose using ultrasound back scatter from an interface between the polymer gel dosimeter and an inert reflector is demonstrated. To enable the measurement of radiation dose using pulse-echo ultrasound methods a novel inert material has been specified, manufactured and characterised. This material is matched to the acoustic impedance of MAGIC gel to produce the most dose-sensitive reflections. The reflections from the interface between the inert reflector and dose-dependent MAGIC gel have been analysed using both a single element transducer and a commercial ultrasound scanner. Both measurement systems demonstrate the same dose and temperature dependence of the ultrasonic reflection. A methodology has been developed to relate pixel values from the ultrasound scanner to the amplitude of the reflected ultrasound signal. A phantom consisting of an array of threads formed from the inert backscattering material has been designed and constructed and a method of extracting pixel data from images of the array acquired using a commercial ultrasound scanner has been developed, so that multiple imaging positions could be used to perform a 3-dimensional assessment of radiation dose distributions. It has been demonstrated that a pulse-echo technique using a commercial ultrasound scanner shows promise for radiation gel dosimetry. Further investigation and alternative polymer gel and inert reflector combinations may improve these techniques.

Abstract:
A radioterapia é um procedimento que utiliza radiação ionizante de alta energia direcionado ao tumor, para destruir suas células. O objetivo é provocar o maior dano nas células tumorais enquanto se poupa o tecido sadio ao redor, para maximizar este resultado. Devido a alta complexidade dos feixes usados nestes tratamentos, um dosímetro tridimensional é desejado para garantir que a dose esteja sendo entregue da forma como foi planejada, sendo a dosimetria gel polimérica com leitura da dose em Imagens de Ressonância Magnética Nuclear (IRMN), uma opção para esta medida. Esse trabalho utiliza o dosímetro gel polimérico MAGIC-f como referência e tem como objetivo otimizar sua formulação, substituindo inicialmente os seus agentes antioxidantes (sulfato de cobre e ácido ascórbico) por um antioxidante mais potente, o cloreto de tetrakishidroximetilfosfônio (THPC), e, em seguida, variar as concentrações dos demais componentes do dosímetro a fim de obter a menor concentração de cada um deles que resulte em um dosímetro com sensibilidade adequada para uso em radioterapia.Foram feitas análises sobre a estabilidade térmica do dosímetro com THPC e estudos sobre as concentrações ideais de THPC (2mM, 5mM, 8mM, 10mM ou 20mM); Ácido Metacrílico (2%, 2,5%, 3%, 3,5% ou 4%); Gelatina (4%, 6%, 8% ou 10%). Após todas as modificações, a formulação otimizada contendo 88,96% Água MiliQ; 3% Ácido Metacrílico; 8% Gelatina; 0,04% THPC (5mM de concentração), apresentou uma sensibilidade próxima a 1,03 Gy-1s-1 e um ponto de fusão de aproximadamente 50C, utilizando as menores quantidades possíveis dos reagentes químicos e a sequência de leitura das IRMN implementada para esta dosimetria. O dosímetro otimizado obtido teve uma redução de 40% no seu custo, em comparação com o dosímetro MAGIC-f, e uma resolução de dose de 0,18 Gy. Obteve linearidade de resposta a dosede 0 a 10 Gy. Uma variação máxima na sensibilidade do dosímetro de 8,5% foi encontrada ao se variar a taxa de dose de 300 500 cGy/min.Também foi avaliada a integridade da distribuição de dose para esse dosímetro através da avaliação de uma irradiação com meio campo blindado. E, sua a maior variação em um teste de repetitividade foi de 15%. Um outro objetivo deste trabalho foi o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia para a reutilização do dosímetro gel, sendo que um dosímetro previamente irradiado com uma dose de 2Gy foi reutilizado após seu derretimento a 50C em um forno com controle digital de temperatura, seguido por uma nova gelificação.Para garantir sua resposta, foi necessária a readição de agentes antioxidantes à formulação reutilizada. Dessa forma, para o gel MAGAT com 1mM de THPC foi obtida uma sensibilidade 30% menor que a original para o dosímetro reutilizado e 15% para o mesmo dosímetro, com 2mM de THPC
Radiotherapy is a procedure that uses high energy ionizing radiation directed to the tumor to destroy its cells. The objective is to obtain tumoral cells more damaged avoiding the healthy cells around it and increase this result. Due to the high complexity of the energy beams used on these treatments, a three-dimensional dosimeter is demanded to assure that the dose is focused as planned, being the polymeric gel dosimetry using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Images (NMRI) for dose scanning an option to this measurement. This work uses MAGIC-f gel as reference and its objective is to optimize the dosimeter formulation, by initiallyreplacing the antioxidants agents (Copper Sulfate and Ascorbic Acid) by a more power rating antioxidant, Tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride (THPC), and then, variatingthe others dosimeter´s components concentration in order to obtain the smallest concentration of each one that result in an adequate dosimeter´ssensitivity for radiotherapy application. Studies were made to check the thermal stability of the gel containing THPC and studies were carried out about the ideals concentrations of THPC (2mM, 5mM, 8mM, 10mM or 20mM); Methacrylic Acid (2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5% or 4%); Gelatin (4%, 6%, 8% or 10%). After the modifications, the optimized formulation containing 88.96% of mili-Q water; 3% of methacrylic acid; 8% of gelatine; 0.04% of THPC (5mM) showed a sensitivity of approximately 1.03 Gy-1s-1 and a melting point approximately of 50°C, using the smallest possible chemical compounds concentrations and the NMRI scanning sequence implemented for this dosimetry. The optimized dosimeter obtained presents a 40% cost reduction, comparing with the dosimeter MAGIC-f, and a dose resolution of 0.18 Gy. The dosimeter responds linearlywith doses from 0 to 10 Gy. A maximal sensitivity variation of 8.5% was found when varing the dose rate from 300 to 500 cGy/min. Its dose integrity was checked by a half beam blocked irradiation. And its largestsensitivity variation at a repeatability test was 15%. The second objective of this work was the development of a methodology for reusing the dosimeter.The dosimeter previously irradiated with 2Gy was reused after being melted in a digitaltemperature control oven at 50°C, followed by the re-addition of THPC and a new gelation. The reused MAGAT gel dosimeter with 1mM of THPC presented 30% sensitivity reductioin when compared to the the same dosimeter before the reusing process, while the MAGAT gel with 2mMof THPC presented a reduction of only 15%

Abstract:
A dosimetria 3D utilizando gel à base de monômeros é uma importante ferramenta utilizada em casos de Radioterapia, em que há necessidade de uma alta resolução da distribuição espacial de dose. Neste trabalho, desenvolvemos um gel à base de monômeros do acido metacrilico, denominado MAGIC®, com a finalidade de avaliar a distribuição espacial de dose em simulações de tratamento de radioterapia, utilizando duas técnicas de imagens por ressonância magnética, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): a relaxometria (RT) e a transferência de magnetização (Magnetization Transfer, MT). Para tal, o trabalho foi desenvolvido em três etapas. Na primeira, desenvolvemos fantomas para serem irradiados com radiação ? e x, sobre os quais imagens de ressonância foram obtidas e analisadas. Desenvolvemos também um software, escrito em Matlab®, para analisar as imagens e traçar curvas de isodose dos fantomas irradiados. Em seguida, aperfeiçoamos o preparo, a composição, e as maneiras de adquirir e processar as imagens do gel irradiado. Nessa etapa incorporamos o formaldeido ao gel MAGIC, aumentando sua sensibilidade em 15%. Por fim, simulamos cinco configurações de tratamento de radioterapia e avaliamos as isodoses adquiridas, comparando-as com aquelas obtidas pelo software de planejamento radioterápico virtual, TPS®. As avaliações feitas com a técnica de relaxometria corresponderam às nossas expectativas. Com ela foi possível caracterizar o gel MAGIC, com alguns testes dosimétricos, bem como avaliar as 5 simulações de tratamentos radioterápicos propostas. O gel se mostrou linear até 20 Gy, mas não apresentou níveis aceitáveis de reprodutibilidade, necessitando de uma curva de calibração em cada teste. O gel possui número atômico efetivo próximo ao da água não necessitando de fatores de correções. Na maioria dos casos simulados, as isodoses das simulações feitas com o gel MAGIC reproduziram as simulações virtuais. Infelizmente, não obtivemos, por enquanto, o mesmo sucesso com a avaliação por MT. As imagens de MT não se mostraram confiáveis e por esse motivo as simulações com o gel só foram feitas com a técnica de RT.
The 3D monomeric gel dosimetry is an important tool in radiation therapy cases which needs high spatial dose resolution. In this work we developed a methacrilic acid monomeric gel called MAGIC® to evaluate spatial dose distributions in simulations of radiation therapy treatments. We used two Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques, the relaxometry (RT) and the magnetization transfer (MT). The work was developed in three stages. First of all, the phantoms were created to be irradiated using and x radiations, the MRI were acquired and analyzed. We also developed a software, programmed in Matlab®, to analyze the images and to draw isodoses curves of irradiated phantoms. Following it, we improved the way the gel was prepared and its composition, as well the image acquisition and processing. In this part we added formaldehyde to the gel, improving its sensibility in 15%. Finally, we simulated 5 different radiation therapy treatments and compared the isodoses measured with the isodoses of the radiation therapy treatment planning software (TPS®). The results of the RT technique corresponded to our expectations. Using the RT we characterized the gel with dosimetric tests and evaluated five different radiation therapy treatments. The gel showed a linear relation with the dose until 20 Gy, but the results of the tests were not reproducibles, because of that we made a calibration curve for each test. The effective atomic number of the gel is close to the water, so it was not necessary any correction. In most of the simulated cases, the isodoses measured with the gel reproduced the virtual simulations. Unfortunately, until now, we didn\' t have the same success using the MT technique. The MT images were not reliable and because of that the simulations were only made with the RT technique.

Abstract:
Neste trabalho as principais características dosímetricas da solução Fricke Xilenol Gel (FXG) foram estabelecidas para futura aplicação clínica na dosimetria de elétrons. As curvas de dose resposta para feixes de nêutrons térmicos para pesquisa em Terapia por Captura de Nêutrons (BNCT) e feixes elétrons de aplicação industrial também foram determinadas. A técnica padrão de leitura utilizada foi espectrofotometria. Para o feixe clínico as reprodutibilidades intra e inter-lotes da solução FXG são melhores que 1,4 % e 5,1 % respectivamente, o comportamento da resposta para o intervalo de dose entre 0,2 e 40 Gy é linear e independente da energia e da taxa de dose para o intervalo estudado. Devido aos efeitos da oxidação natural do FXG o tempo ótimo entre o preparo e a irradiação é de 24h e o comportamento da curva de dose resposta não se altera no período estudado para a variação da absorvância líquida do dosímetro. Para o estudo com o campo de nêutrons as curvas de dose resposta do FXG apresentaram comportamento linear em todo intervalo de dose estudado, e para campos industriais de elétrons o comportamento é exponencial decrescente. De acordo com os resultados obtidos para os feixes de radiação estudados, não houve alteração na posição das bandas características do espectro de absorção do FXG. Como testes adicionais, foi determinada a viabilidade do uso do método de leitura do FXG por imagens fotográficas digitais e aplicação do FXG na dosimetria para braquiterapia intracavitária. O bom desempenho do dosímetro FXG nos testes realizados indica que este pode ser utilizado na avaliação tridimensional da dose em tratamento radioterápicos.
In this work the main dosimetric characteristics of the Fricke Xylenol Gel (FXG) solution were established for further application in the measurement of dose distribution of clinical electron fields. The dose-response curves of the FXG in a neutron field were also evaluated for the research in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) and industrial electron fields. The standard reading technique was the spectrophotometric. For the clinical field, the intra and inter-batch reproducibility are better than 1.4% and 5.1 %, respectively, the response presents a linear behavior for doses ranging from 0.2 to 40 Gy independently of the energy and the dose rate in the studied ranges. Due to the effects of the FXG natural oxidation, the optimum elapsed time between FXG preparation and irradiation was established as 24h period and the behavior of the dose-response curve of the FXG using the variation in the absorbance relative to the non-irradiated dosimeter as a basis during the whole studied period were not altered. The dose-response to the industrial electron beam presented an exponential decreasing behavior and the neutron beam for research in BNCT presented a linear behavior for the complete studied dose range. According to the obtained results for the different types of radiation studied for the FXG, there was no change in the position of the characteristic bands of the absorption spectrum due to the interaction of these radiation types. Additional tests were performed to determine the digital photographic imaging of FXG analyses viability and the application of FXG dosimetry on intracavitary brachytherapy. The good performance of the FXG dosimeter in the tests that were carried out indicates that this dosimeter may be applied to the tri-dimensional dose evaluation in radiotherapic treatments using electrons and neutron beams.

Abstract:
O interesse científico em se conhecer os efeitos provocados pelo uso da radiação ionizante nos sistemas biológicos, fez com que a área da dosimetria merecesse uma atenção especial na busca de sensores que pudessem traduzir respostas equivalentes às dos tecidos humanos. O presente trabalho mostra a caracterização preliminar e a aplicação de um novo dosímetro químico (FXGA), derivado do FXG, que se diferencia do anterior pela substituição da gelatina de pele de porco \"300 Bloom\" por uma nacional. As leituras de dose absorvida por esse dosímetro são baseadas na absorção ótica e para tal foi desenvolvido um protótipo portátil (RADIARE III), que se mostrou prático e acessível economicamente em relação a um espectrofotômetro. A partir das medidas realizadas pode-se inferir que o dosímetro FXGA possui comportamento linear com a dose absorvida no intervalo de 0,5 à 35 Gy para fótons do 60Co, e de 1 à 7 Gy para elétrons com energias de 5, 8 e 10 MeV. Também a dependência energética para fótons e elétrons foram obtidas e seus comportamentos são coerentes com o esperado. Aplicações na radioterapia foram obtidas, como: perfil, fator de campo e percentual de dose profunda para fótons do 60Co. Dos resultados obtidos da caracterização para fótons e elétrons, bem como dos parâmetros físicos para o equipamento 60Co, o sistema dosimétrico \"gel FXGA + protótipo RADIARE III\" mostrou-se promissor para ser utilizado no controle de qualidade de um serviço de radioterapia.
Researchs with radiation dosimeters look for materials that presents similar response to radiation as biological systems. This work presents preliminar characterization and radiotherapy application from a new chemical dosimeter (FXGA), derived from the FXG with a difference due to the gelatin used (pork skin \"300 Bloom\" for FXG and national gelatin for FXGA). The FXGA absorbed dose reading are based on the optic absorption, and for this reason a reader (RADIARE III) was developed, which is portable and economically accessible when compared with an spectrophotometer. From the measurements done, it can be inferred that FXGA dosimeter possess linear response with the absorbed dose from 0.5 up to 35 Gy for 60Co photons and from up 1 up to 7 Gy for 5, 8 and 10 MeV. The energy dependence for photons and electrons were obtained and their response are coherent those expected. FXGA radiotherapy applications had been done as field factor, profile and percentage depth dose for 60Co photons. From the characterization results for photons and electrons, as well from physical parameters for the 60Co , one can figure out that the dosimetric system \"FXGA gel + RADIARE III reader\" can be an attractive tool for the quality control in a radiotherapy service.

Abstract:
A radioterapia utiliza a radiação ionizante para a destruição de células tumorais. O controle da dose absorvida de um tipo específico de radiação aplicada a um volume alvo (tumor) é feito através da dosimetria, (uso de sensores de radiação), que neste trabalho foram utilizados os dosímetros químicos Fricke e filme. Dentre os diversos tipos de câncer, indicados para tratamento, utilizando a radiação ionizante, têm-se também a neoplasia Micose Fungóide (MF), linfoma que se alastra na superfície e em profundidade na pele para o qual elétrons com alta energia são utilizados para seu tratamento, devido aos seus alcances. Neste trabalho o Fricke Xilenol Gel (FXG) foi utilizado para o planejamento do tratamento da MF, para averiguar a distribuição da dose absorvida proveniente das interações dos elétrons com os tecidos. Para tal, foram construídas cubetas especiais em acrílico (tomos) conformacionadas aos contornos do crânio e do abdômen, que uma vez preenchidas com o FXG serviram para avaliar as doses absorvidas num objeto simulador antropomórfico, o Rando Phantom. O simulador, completado com cubetas e filmes radiocrômicos, este último também conformacionado aos dois contornos de interesse, foi submetido à técnica de Stanford para irradiação do corpo total com elétrons de 6 MeV. Imagens CCD e de densidade radiográfica foram feitas e posteriormente avaliadas, através de perfis horizontais e verticais passando por seus centros. Estes a seguir foram analisados por programas computacionais: um desenvolvido no Matlab para as imagens do FXG e o outro pelo programa já conhecido, ImageJ, para as imagens do filme. Das medidas, pode-se inferir que o dosímetro FXG se presta, similarmente ao filme, para as avaliações da dose absorvida devida aos elétrons na superfície do paciente e no seu interior, devida à contaminação por raios-X.
Radioterapy uses ionizing radiation to destroy tumor cells. The absorbed dose control in a target volume is done through dosimetry, using radiation sensors, being the Fricke and film used in this study. Among several types of cancer indicated for treatment using ionizing radiation, there is also the Mycosis Fungoides (MF), lymphom that spreads on surface and depth in the skin, for which high-energy electrons are used for its treatment. In this work the Fricke Xylenol Gel (FXG) was used for MF treatment control, to obtain the absorbed dose distribution from electrons interaction with the tissues. For this scope cuvettes were manufactured of acrylic (slices), with the same contours of the skull and abdomen anthropomorphic simulator tomos. Once filled with the FXG, these cuvettes were used to infer the absorbed dose by the anthropomorphic simulator Rando Phantom. This simulator, completed with the cuvettes and radiochromic films, this last one also with the same contours similar to skull and abdomen were submitted to the Stanford technique, for 6 MeV electrons total body irradiation. CCD and radiographic density images were acquired and evaluated by horizontal and vertical profiles through theirs centers. These profiles were analyzed through a computer programs: one developed in Matlab for FXG images and the other by an already known program, ImageJ, for film images. From the results one can infer that the FXG dosimeter presents similarity with that of film, in the evaluation of the absorbed dose distribution on surface and also inside of the patient.
