Amorphous silicon (a-Si) electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) offer convenient high-resolution and fast digital image acquisition, making the a-Si EPID advantageous for portal dosimetry. In this research project, a Varian aS1000 EPID was dosimetrically evaluated for portal dosimetry characteristics including: short-term reproducibility, linearity, field size dependence, pixel uniformity, dose-rate dependence, detector displacement, inverse square law, image lag, and memory effect. A convolution and Monte Carlo (MC) based non-transmission portal dosimetry method was also developed to reconstruct a 3D dose distribution. Images acquired by the Varian aS1000 EPID were deconvolved with a two part scatter kernel: a MC calculated dose kernel ...
