Evaluation of the efficiency and effectiveness of independent dose calculation followed by machine log file analysis against conventional measurement based IMRT QA
Experimental methods are commonly used for patient-specific IMRT delivery verification. There are a variety of IMRT QA techniques which have been proposed and clinically used with a common understanding that not one single method can detect all possible errors. The aim of this work was to compare the efficiency and effectiveness of independent dose calculation followed by machine log file analy...
متن کاملComparison between two different methods used for IMRT plans QA of Prostate cancer
Introduction: The aim of this study is evaluation of two Quality Assurance methods in sliding window IMRT technique and Determination of gamma index in both methods Materials and Methods: In this study two tools named" Delta4" phantom and " Epiqa" software has been used to perform QA on the treatment plan before the actual treatment by Varian linear acceler...
متن کاملBreaking bad IMRT QA practice
Agreement between planned and delivered dose distributions for patient-specific quality assurance in routine clinical practice is predominantly assessed utilizing the gamma index method. Several reports, however, fundamentally question current IMRT QA practice due to poor sensitivity and specificity of the standard gamma index implementation. An alternative is to employ dose volume histogram (D...
متن کاملParallel/Opposed: IMRT QA using treatment log files is superior to conventional measurement‐based method
In the recent years, more and more researchers believe measurement-based quality assurance (QA) method for intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is insensitive in detecting various types of failures.(1-3) Machine delivery log-file analysis has been proposed to be a more effective and efficient approach in verifying IMRT delivery accuracy in terms of gantry, collimator, jaws, and MLCs.(1,4-9) ...
متن کاملInvestigation of error detection capabilities of phantom, EPID and MLC log file based IMRT QA methods
A patient specific quality assurance (QA) should detect errors that originate anywhere in the treatment planning process. However, the increasing complexity of treatment plans has increased the need for improvements in the accuracy of the patient specific pretreatment verification process. This has led to the utilization of higher resolution QA methods such as the electronic portal imaging devi...
