Initial clinical experience with ArcCHECK for IMRT/VMAT QA
Many devices designed for the purpose of performing patient-specific IMRT/VMAT QA are commercially available. In this work we report our experience and initial clinical results with the ArcCHECK. The ArcCHECK consists of a cylindrical array of diode detectors measuring entry and exit doses. The measured result is a cumulative dose displayed as a 2D matrix. The detector array requires both an ab...
متن کاملCommissioning and comprehensive evaluation of the ArcCHECK cylindrical diode array for VMAT pretreatment delivery QA
We present commissioning and comprehensive evaluation for ArcCHECK as a QA equipment for volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT), using the 6 MV photon beam with and without the flattening filter, and the SNC patient software (version 6.2). In addition to commissioning involving absolute dose calibration, array calibration, and PMMA density verification, ArcCHECK was evaluated for its response ...
متن کاملBenchmarking the gamma pass score using ArcCHECK for routine dosimetric QA of VMAT plans
A minimum expected gamma (γ) pass rate for VMAT plan verification using ArcCHECK was established based on the RTTQA, TG119 test cases and 10 clinical plans with varying levels of complexity. The impact of the ‘Measurement Uncertainty’ parameter as available in the ArcCHECK software on γ pass rate was studied for both global and local γ analysis. Our results show that excluding measurement uncer...

BACKGROUND Golimumab is a TNF-blocking agent indicated as a second-line therapy in ulcerative colitis. PURPOSE To research the effectiveness and safety of golimumab in patients with ulcerative colitis in clinical practice. METHODS Retrospective study of the effectiveness and safety of golimumab in patients with ulcerative colitis. All patients received golimumab 200 mg subcutaneously at wee...
متن کاملRadiology order entry with decision support: initial clinical experience.
PURPOSE To determine whether an appropriately designed computerized order entry system for radiology can be clinically accepted and influence ordering practices. MATERIALS AND METHODS An intranet-based outpatient ordering and scheduling system was designed and implemented beginning in 2001. Indications used to request imaging have been standardized and keystrokes minimized by using menus. The...
