Linear accelerator quality assurance using EPIQA software

  • 1. University Hospital 'Queen Giovanna - ISUL', Radiotherapy Department, Sofia (Bulgaria)

Description

Unlike treatment with static fields, using a dynamic multileaf collimator (dMLC), there are significant dosimetric issues which must be assessed before dynamic therapy can be implemented. The advanced techniques require some additional commissioning and quality assurance tests. The results of standard quality assurance (QA) machine tests and commissioning tests for volume modulated arc therapy (VMAT) using electronic portal image device (EPID) and 'EPIQA' software are presented.
