MESSAGE

I take this opportunity to thank King Fahad Medical City (KFMC) for being a partner of Saudi

Medical Physics Society (SMPS) in promoting the medical physics profession. Today's

conference is another collaborative effort between KFMC and SMPS for its 9th Saudi Medical

Physics Conference in developing awareness of the medical physicists' endeavor to provide

services that ensure patient safety and quality health care in using radiation in medicine.

The theme of this conference is bridging the relationship between diagnosis and treatment.

With the development of new and hybrid technologies in both areas medical physicists are

challenged in improving services from conservative to ultra modern. This conference provides

an excellent venue for introducing new frontiers to young medical physicists and sharing of

experiences for consultant medical physicists.

As this very important event coincides with the celebration of the International Day of Medical

Physics with the theme " Medical Physics: Providing a Holistic Approach to Women Patients

and Women Staff Safety in Radiation Medicine" we join all the medical physicists around the

world for honoring the contributions of women medical physicists in providing quality medical

physics services from diagnosis to treatment.

I wish each one of you a fruitful three days of participation in the conference and bring home to

your institution the lessons and experiences learned from this conference. Saudi Arabia, being

the country with the most number of medical physicists in the Middle East region, let us

continue to strive to be more competitive internationally.

ABSTRACT

The potential use of a plastic scintillator in quality assurance in proton therapy

METHOD: Plastic scintillators emit visible light when irradiated. They are inexpensive,

robust, have tissue-equivalent density and can easily be shaped and fabricated. RESULTS:

We evaluate a BC-408 plastic scintillator (Saint-Gobain Crystal Corporation, USA), chosen

due to its high scintillation efficiency, optical transparency and large volume

(20 cm×20cm×10 cm), imaged with a commercial Nikon D7100 camera as a quality

assurance tool in proton therapy. The whole 2D dose distribution was then obtained in a

single image (Fig 1a). Possible optical artefacts, which could affect the signal, were

investigated and taken in conisation when needed. The scintillation responses were

reproducible to within 0.55%, linear with dose, and independent of dose rate. However, there

was a reduction in the light intensity in the Bragg peak region because the protons’ high

linear energy transfer (LET) leads to quenching where less light is produced than expected.

We corrected the measured scintillation light distribution for quenching using Birks’ equation.

LET was obtained produced by Geant4 as a function of depth and was combined with the

measured scintillation light to calculate Birks’ constant as 0.15 ± 0.02 mm MeV-1. Ideal and

quenched distributions were then simulated by Geant4 and used to generate a correction

which was applied to the measured distribution to produce the corrected scintillation output

(Fig 1b).

ABSTRACT

CONCLUSION: This approach offers effective correction for quenching, and allows

rapid, convenient, routine imaging of the proton beam from which depth dose curves,

profiles and other parameters can be determined to provide quality assurance for

clinical proton beams.

ABSTRACT

Treatment Planning Evaluation of Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) for

Craniospinal Irradiation (CSI)

Salwa Fathy, Tagreed ALawi, Nasser Al-Dhaibani

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and accuracy of Volumetric

Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) technique for CSI regarding to improving the PTV dose

conformity and homogeneity with reducing the dose to organs at risk (OAR) with reporting the

integral dose (ID) received by non-target tissue (NTT).

METHODS: Four male patients (n=4) had received crainiospinal irradiation by volumetric

modulated arc therapy [VMAT] treatment planning technique [normalized such that 95% of PTV

(planning target volume) received at least 95% of the prescribed dose which is 36Gy in 20

fractions]. Plans were assessed using PTV dose coverage as D95% (the dose received by 95% of

PTV); D2% was taken as a reference for the maximum dose and D98% as a reference for the

minimum dose, the mean doses of OARs, conformity index 95% (CI95%), and homogeneity index

(HI), and non-target tissue integral doses (NTTID).

RESULTS: VMAT CSI is able to produce satisfied dose distributions with high PTV conformity

and homogeneity. The average D95% coverage of the PTV was 34Gy, with an average

conformity index 95% (CI95%) of 0.99 and an average homogeneity index (HI) of 1.13. In terms of

OAR sparing, VMAT technique allowed average mean doses acceptably low for all organs

[lenses, eyes, liver, kidneys, lungs, and heart were 7.73Gy, 14.39Gy, 8.16Gy, 6.97Gy, 8.06Gy,

and 8.18Gy respectively]. As regard the average integral dose for the non target tissue NTTID

was 307.21Gy.

CONCLUSION: CSI is considered one of the most challenging processes in radiotherapy. This

study provides a practically useful planning method for VMAT treatment of CSI that shows its

ability to achieve highly conformal and homogeneous treatment plans, while limiting the dose to

the surrounding OARs. However, this technical advantage of this VMAT technique was

associated with an increase in non target tissue integral dose that may be associated with

increase in risk of secondary malignancies. This VMAT approach should therefore be tested with

respect to late toxicity with further studies.

ABSTRACT

Development and Evaluation of an Ultrasound Mammographic Density

Phantom

Majd Alharthi, Christian Langton

Science and Engineering Faculty, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane,

Queensland, Australia

PURPOSE:This paper reports on the building of five breast phantoms, two of which simulated

different types of normal breast tissues: fatty tissues (subcutaneous fat and retromammary fat)

and glandular tissues. The other three phantoms simulated breast tissues abnormal with

respect to attenuation coefficients, velocity of sound, densities and broadband ultrasound

attenuation (BUA).

METHODS: Phantom composition and production are described in detail. Ultrasonic

properties were tested at 22ºC and 34ºC using a transmission technique with a 1-MHz

transducer, and a 5-MHz transducer was used for BUA.

RESULTS: Values for attenuation coefficients and the velocity of sound agree with published

values, and increased temperature was found to reduce the attenuation coefficients of all

phantoms. However, increased temperature was also found to increase the speed of sound in

non-fatty phantoms, while it reduced the speed in fatty phantoms. BUA measurements of non-

fatty phantoms had attenuations are linear proportional to frequencies between 3.3-3.7MHz

and higher values than those of fatty phantoms, while the signals for fatty phantoms fluctuated

due to lesser thickness.

CONCLUSION: Phantoms exhibited ultrasound properties similar to those found in clinical

scans of breast tissues, and attenuation coefficients and velocity of sound were also shown to

be affected by changes in temperature. A potential use for these phantoms is to build a

phantom that incorporates all five, which can be used to help develop ultrasound machines.

ABSTRACT

Individualisation of radiotherapy dose fractionation based on the patient’s treatment

plan

Weam Alnojiadi, Hussein Albarakaty, Mukhtar Alshanqity, A Nahum

Hoffman and Nahum introduce modifications to the Withers iso-effective dose formula, which

is widely used widely used in external-beam radiotherapy to derive a new tumour dose

prescription such that there is normal-tissue (NT) iso-effect when changing the fraction size

and/or number. The modified formula takes account of the heterogeneity of normal tissue dose

and architecture ( i.e whether the organ is serial or parallel), which is not considered in the

basic Withers formula. In this study, we work on using the modified Withers formula in highly

conformal radiotherapy modalities like Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), stereotactic

ablative radiotherapy (SABR), rapid arc, and proton therapy. We work on the development of a

procedure for Individualization of the dose fractionation for each patient based on his/her own

treatment plan. The producer compromises of three stages 1) identifying the normal tissue,

which the most sensitive to hypofraciation using effective a/b ratio 2) calculating the iso toxic

dose 3) comparing the iso-dose with the tolerance and investigate the possibility of dose

escalation. Because the producer involves complex calculations, a software was developed to

carry out the calculations .

ABSTRACT

Lung tumour imaging and volume delineation using PET scan

Bayan Baatiyah , Asma'a Basahel , Bashaier Al Mould.

Lung cancer is by far the most common cause of cancer death . The Reasons for this

High mortality rate: symptoms of lung cancer do not appear until the disease is already

in an advanced (non curable stage), many people may mistake symptoms of lung

cancer for other problems. Positron emission tomography (PET) play an essential role

in the diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of patients with lung cancer. PET scans are

often used to diagnose a condition or how a condition is developing PET is now an

important cancer imaging tool. FDG is not cancer specific and will accumulate in areas

with high levels of metabolism and glycolysis.

Accurate staging and target volume delineation (TVD) are crucial for lung cancer

patients because the treatment strategy and prognosis drastically differ according to

them . By reviewing the literature, accurate target volume delineation using the PET

has proved challenging due to the intrinsic properties PET data. Wide variety of image

segmentation techniques have been proposed (Zaidi, 2012). Because of the limitation

of using PET in TVD, the choice of method for tumour delineation via PET may

influence the TVD, with consequences for the outcome of the radiation therapy (Nestle

et al,2006).

As a result, lung tumour is fatal if not diagnostic early and the use of PET help in

diagnostic early. PET is more helpful in staging but not in TVD.
