Quality 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...

Quality Assurance of Varian On-board Imager

Accurate and repeatable setup of patients is a requisite in radiotherapy. In the treatment of head-and-neck tumors, accurate setup is particularly important because of the proximity of the treatment volume to critical structures such as the spinal cord, brainstem, and parotid glands. When intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is used, proximity of this kind between the target and normal organ...

Neutron Contamination Unexpected Dose in Varian LINAC

Introduction: Neutron contamination is very harmful for the patients receiving radiation therapy due to the high relative biological effect of neutrons. Medical linear accelerators head are made up of materials with high atomic numbers, and High-energy photons interaction with heavy materials can produce neutron contamination. In this study, neutron equivalent dose, neutron spe...

Performance evaluation and quality assurance of Varian enhanced dynamic wedges

Dynamic wedges have been used in clinical practice for many years. Obvious superiority of dynamic over physical wedges is accompanied by the increased overhead involved in verifying the accuracy and reliability of their use. Contrary to very limited QA required to ensure proper functioning of the physical wedges, dynamic wedges, like any other dynamic treatment, require a robust QA program. Thi...
