It is hypothesized that the uncertainty of the Synchrony® model from the rotation of a geometrically asymmetrical single fiducial shall be non-zero during the motion tracking. To validate this hypothesis, the uncertainty was measured for a Synchrony® model built for a respiratory motion phantom oriented at different yaw angles on a Cyberknife® treatment table. A Mini-ball Cube with three cylindrical GoldMark™ (1mmx5mm Au) numbered fiducials was placed inside a respiratory phantom and used for all tests. The fiducial with the least artifact interference was selected for the motion tracking. A 2cm periodic, longitudinal, linear motion of the Mini-ball cube was executed and tested for yaw rotational angles, 0° – 90°. The test was repeated over 3 nonconsecutive days. The uncertainty increased with the yaw angle with the most noticeable changes seen between20° and 60° yaw, where uncertainty increased from 23.5% to 57.9%. A similar test was performed using a spherical Gold Anchor™ fiducial. The uncertainties found when using the Gold Anchor™ were statistically lower than those found when using the GoldMark™ fiducial for all angles of rotation. For the first time, it is found that Synchrony® model uncertainty depends on fiducial geometry. In addition, this research has shown that tracking target rotation using a single fiducial can be accomplished with the Synchrony® model uncertainty as it is displayed on the treatment console. The results of this research could lead to decreased acute toxicity effects related to multiple fiducials. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2018. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
