Comparison of two commercial detector arrays for IMRT quality assurance
Two commercially available detector arrays were compared for their use in the quality assurance of patient-specific IMRT treatment plans: one a diode-based array (MapCHECK) and the other an ion chamber-based array (MatriXX). The dependence of the response of detectors on the field size, dose rate, and radiation energy were measured and compared with reference measurements using a Farmer-type io...
متن کاملA comparison of two commercial treatment‐planning systems for IMRT
This study compared the clinical functionality of BrainSCAN (BrainLAB) and Helios (Eclipse, Varian) for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment planning with the aim of identifying practical and technical issues. The study considered implementation and commissioning, dose optimization, and plan assessment. Both systems were commissioned for the same 6 MV photon beam equipped with...
متن کاملCommissioning and quality assurance of a commercial stereotactic treatment‐planning system for extracranial IMRT
A 3D treatment-planning system (TPS) for stereotactic intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) using a micro-multileaf collimator has been made available by Radionics. In this work, we report our comprehensive quality assurance (QA) procedure for commissioning this TPS. First, the accuracy of stereotaxy established with a body frame was checked to ensure accurate determination of a target positi...
متن کاملEPID dosimetry for pretreatment quality assurance with two commercial systems
This study compares the EPID dosimetry algorithms of two commercial systems for pretreatment QA, and analyzes dosimetric measurements made with each system alongside the results obtained with a standard diode array. 126 IMRT fields are examined with both EPID dosimetry systems (EPIDose by Sun Nuclear Corporation, Melbourne FL, and Portal Dosimetry by Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto CA) and th...
متن کاملQuality Assurance of IMRT delivery systems – Varian
Introduction Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) provides the means for improved treatment for a wide variety of cancers. Piggybacked onto 3DCRT and MLC technologies, IMRT has developed quickly, but will undoubtedly see improvements in core hardware and software as well as in peripheral applications such as record and verify, gating, etc. At the core, individual treatment centers shoul...
