Characteristics of the Accuboost technique include all of the following, except: <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(1)" value="a1"> (A) Uniform dose distribution to the target <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(1)" value="b1"> (B) Conformal dose to the target with reduced dose to the heart, lung, skin, ribs, and pectoralis muscle <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(1)" value="c1"> (C) It is an invasive technique, since the catheters are inserted into the tumor bed in order to deliver the prescribed dose <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(1)" value="d1"> (D) Excellent localization of the target <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(1)" value="e1"> (E) Easy implementation in the clinic <br> <br> Q2. Studies comparing the accuboost with the electron boost, and the 3D-CRT techniques showed all of the following results, except: <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(2)" value="a2"> (A) Dose to the chest wall is between 70-80% less using the accuboost technique <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(2)" value="b2"> (B) PTV coverage is significantly better for the accuboost technique <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(2)" value="c2"> (C) Median max skin dose is 25% lower for the accuboost when compared to the electron boost, and 10% lower when compared to the 3D-CRT <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(2)" value="d2"> (D) Difference between the electron boost and accuboost for the V110, Dmax, Dmean, and D90 parameters is NSS (non-statistically significant) <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(2)" value="e2"> (E) Electron boost plans have a lower median Dmin, and higher V100 and D50, when compared to accuboost plans <br> <br> Q3. The accuboost technique is believed to provide less geometric miss of the target, compared to other techniques. Reasons for the better target localization include all of the following, except: <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(3)" value="a3"> (A) Lumpectomy cavity is, in some cases, hard to be delineated on CT images <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(3)" value="b3"> (B) Surgical clips are not easily visible on ultrasound <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(3)" value="c3"> (C) Scars alone are not reliable for cavity identification <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(3)" value="d3"> (D) Target is localized using mammography <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(3)" value="e3"> (E) Lumpectomy cavity is localized by asking the patient where, in the breast, the tumor was localized when it was first diagnosed. <br> <br> Q4. Procedures for acceptance testing of the accuboost technique include all of the following, except: <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(4)" value="a4"> (A) Treatment time verification <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(4)" value="b4"> (B) Inspection of the applicator catheters <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(4)" value="c4"> (C) Verification of the applicators sizes and connections <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(4)" value="d4"> (D) Verification of the HDR source output factor (Gy per min) <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(4)" value="e4"> (E) Training for the Radiation Oncologist only, on how to prescribe doses using the accuboost. No additional training necessary, since the technique is very easily implemented in the clinic <br> <br> Q5. Parameters that are used for treatment time calculation include all of the following, except: <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(5)" value="a5"> (A) Breast composition <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(5)" value="b5"> (B) Source strength (Ci) <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(5)" value="c5"> (C) Plate separation <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(5)" value="d5"> (D) Applicator size <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="(5)" value="e5"> (E) Prescription breast dose (Gy) per fraction <br> <br> <br> Did you attend the Florida Chapter AAPM Spring 2010 Meeting? <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="PAID" value="Yes, Spring Meeting Attendee"> YES <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="PAID" value="NO, Did not attend"> NO <br> <br> If you did not register for the Spring 2010 FLAAPM Meeting, please acknowledge you must first make payment to receive any SAMs credit <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="Paypal" value="Paypal"> Okay, I will now proceed to PayPal <br> <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="Paypal" value="Attendee"> N/A, I attended the Spring Meeting <br> <br> <br> IMPORTANT note: when you press "Submit", please allow email YOUR server to send an email!
