Purpose : To evaluate the usefulness of electronic portal imaging device through
objective compare of the images acquired using an EPID and a conventional port film.
Materials and Methods : From Apr to Oct. 1997. a total of 150 sets of images from
20 patients who received radiation therapy in the pelvis area were evaluated in the Inha
University Hospital and Severance Hospital. A dual image recording technique was
devised to obtain both electronic portal images and Port firm images simultaneously
with one treatment course. We did not perform double exposure. Five to ten images
were acquired from each patient. All images were acquired from posteroanterior (PA)
view except images from two patients. A dose rate of 100-300 MU/min and a 10-MV
X-ray beam were used and 2-10 MUs were required to produce a verification image
during treatment. Kodak diagnostic film with metal/film imaging cassette which was
located on the top of the EPID detector was used for the port film. The source to
detector distance was 140 §¯. Eight anatomical landmarks (pelvic brim, sacrum,
acetabulum, iliopectineal line, symphysis, ischium, obturator foramen, sacroiliac joint)
were assessed. Four radiation oncologist joined to evaluate each image. The individual
landmarks in the port firm or in the EPID were rated - very clear (1), clear (2), visible
(3), not clear (4), not visible (5).
Results : Using an video camera based EPID system. there was no difference of
image quality between no enhanced EPID images and port film images. However, when
we provided some change with window level for the portal image, the visibility of the
sacrum and obturator foramen was improved in the portal images than in the port film
images. All anatomical landmarks were more visible in the portal images than in the
port film when we applied the CLAHE mode enhancement. The images acquired using
an matrix ion chamber type EPID were also improved image quality after window level
adjustment.
Conclusion : The Quality of image acquired using an electronic portal imaging device
was comparable to that of the port film. When we used the enhance mode or window
level adjustment. the image Qualify of the EPID was superior to that of the port film.
EPID may replace the port film.
