<p>A method of electronic portal imaging (EPID) for radiation dosimetric measurement and quality assurance (QA) in radiation therapy is provided that includes imaging a calibration photon beam and a treatment beam using an EPID imager disposed between a plastic water build-up phantom and a plastic water back-scatter phantom that is thicker than the plastic water build-up phantom, correcting the EPID images using an off-axis correction map that takes into account a horn-shape of a photon fluence profile, deconvolving the corrected EPID images using a Monte Carlo simulated EPID response kernel, the deconvolved corrected EPID images provide a primary photon fluence map, reconstructing a relative dose map using the primary photon fluence map convolving with a Monte Carlo simulated pencil-beam dose distribution kernel, and generating an absolute dose map using cross calibration to a 10x10cm2 square field that is compared with a planned dose distribution for QA analysis.</p> |
