RapidArc quality assurance through MapCHECK
The purpose is to devise a patient-specific quality assurance procedure for RapidArc radiotherapy using the MapCHECK detector array. We use our existing MapCHECK system and a Solid Water phantom with an embedded ion chamber to develop a quality assurance procedure for RapidArc treatment after commissioning. The ion chamber used to measure the absolute dose is surrounded by 6 cm layers of solid ...
متن کاملInterplay effect of angular dependence and calibration field size of MapCHECK 2 on RapidArc quality assurance
The purpose of this study is to investigate an effect of angular dependence and calibration field size of MapCHECK 2 on RapidArc QA for 6, 8, 10, and 15 MV. The angular dependence was investigated by comparing MapCHECK 2 measurements in MapPHAN-MC2 to the corresponding Eclipse calculations every 10° using 10× 10 cm2 and 3 × 3 cm2 fields. Fourteen patients were selected to make RapidArc plans us...
متن کاملQuality assurance methodology for Varian RapidArc treatment plans
With the commercial introduction of the Varian RapidArc, a new modality for treatment planning and delivery, the need has arisen for consistent and efficient techniques for performing patient-specific quality assurance (QA) tests. In this paper we present our methodology for a RapidArc treatment plan QA procedure. For our measurements we used a 2D diode array (MapCHECK) embedded at 5 cm water e...
متن کاملPatient-specific quality assurance of RapidArc treatments: Portal prediction dosimetry compared with phantom studies
Purpose: To validate a locally fabricated phantom of Imatrixx-2D Array by comparing its results with ArcCheck phantom and comparing portal dosimetry measurements with the two phantom studies. Materials and Methods: Electronic Portal Imaging Devices and Epiqa software were used for portal dosimetry. An Imatrixx-2D array with a locally fabricated phantom and ArcCheck cylindrical phantom were used...
متن کاملDosimetric evaluation of MobiusFX in the RapidArc delivery quality assurance comparing with 3DVH
The dosimetric characteristics of MobiusFX, which uses the treatment machine log file to calculate the dose inside the patient body, were analyzed for use in the RapidArc delivery quality assurance (DQA) process. The accuracy and usefulness of MobiusFX in clinical cases was evaluated by comparing the dose calculated by MobiusFX with that calculated by the conventional measurement dose based pro...
