Title: Brenda Clark: Innovator in Three-Dimensional Dosimetry
Introduction
Brenda Clark is a prominent inventor based in Vancouver, Canada. She has made significant contributions to the field of medical physics, particularly in the area of three-dimensional dosimetry. With a total of three patents to her name, her work has advanced the methods used in radiation therapy.
Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "Film phantom for three-dimensional dosimetry." This invention describes a method and system for recording and verifying three-dimensional dose distributions using a film phantom. The phantom includes a cavity for receiving film sheets, allowing for the delivery of a three-dimensional radiation dose as described by a stereotactic radiosurgery plan. The film can be developed to provide multiple dose images, which are then used to create a measured three-dimensional dose distribution map. The phantom may also feature translucent areas that expose fiducial marks on the film, aiding in determining the position and orientation of the film relative to the phantom.
Another notable patent is "Method and automated system for creating volumetric data sets." This invention outlines a method for creating a volumetric data set that represents a three-dimensional distribution, such as a dose distribution produced by a radiosurgery system. It utilizes a plurality of stacked sensors to obtain two-dimensional cross-sectional images, which are then optically scanned to produce digitized images. The software processes these images to populate a volumetric data structure, ensuring accuracy and resolution.
