  1. Machine-specific QC in Aarhus using EPID Mai-Britt K. Jørgensen, Lone Hoffmann, L.P. Muren, Lars H. Præstegaard, Rune Hansen, Jørgen B.B. Pedersen, Maria F. Jensen Aarhus University Hospital Department of Medical Physics www.regionmidtjylland.dk

  2. Rutine QC 2 ▪ www.regionmidtjylland.dk

  3. Picket fence, PF For every MLC and gab… Position: Relative rotation of EPID and collimator Intensity (”width”): 3 ▪ www.regionmidtjylland.dk

  4. PF: ex. ”Eye test”

  5. PF: ex. Deviation in position,tolerance ±0.3mm 5 ▪ www.regionmidtjylland.dk

  6. PF: ex.Deviation in intensity, tolerance ±300

  7. PF: ex. ”Eye test version 2”

  8. PF: In total~30 test on each accelerator, one every month

  9. Dose rate vs. gantry speed, DRGS 9 ▪ www.regionmidtjylland.dk

  10. DRGS: ex. typical deviation

  11. DRGS: ex. cable issue 11 ▪ www.regionmidtjylland.dk

  12. DRGS: In total~30 test on each accelerator, one every month

  13. Dose rate vs. MLC speed, DRMLC 13 ▪ www.regionmidtjylland.dk

  14. DRMLC: ex. segment 4 DR120, 0.4cm/s 14 ▪ www.regionmidtjylland.dk

  15. DRMLC: ex. segment 2 DR600, 2.4cm/s

  16. DRMLC: ex. segment 4 DR120, 0.4cm/s segment 1 DR480, 1.6cm/s

  17. DRMLC: In total~30 test on each accelerator, one every month

  18. Time consumption • Measurements: ~10 min • Analysis (home-made software): ~1 min • Total: ~11 min 18 ▪ www.regionmidtjylland.dk

  19. Effect of chain adjustments on the DRGS and DRMLC tests • Mehtod • 3 DRGS and 3 DRMLC test with a loose chain • 3 DRGS and 3 DRMLC test with a thight chain • Result, comparing loose and thight chain • DRGS: Standard deviation was unchanged • DRMLC: Std 0.6 (loose) -> 0.2 (tight) 19 ▪ www.regionmidtjylland.dk

  20. Loose chain: unstable characteristic

  21. Tight chain: Stable characteristic

  22. Discussion • Deviations in PF are covered in next, next session • Deviations in DRGS and DRMLC • Chain adjustments have an effect on DRGS and DRMLC test, but it does not solve everything • Cable issues • Beam adjustments? • For more information on the calculations and tolerances: Med. Phys. 38, 1425 (2011); 22 ▪ www.regionmidtjylland.dk
