When it comes to radiotherapy quality assurance, efficiency and reliability are everything.
But don’t just take our word for it—hear from your colleagues who have integrated the IQM System into their workflows.
This feedback comes directly from experienced IQM users in Pittsburgh, in Northern Illinois and Fort Worth. Their insights were provided in response to an inquiry from an American Medical Physicist currently considering IQM for their clinic.
Overall, the consensus is clear:
IQM is a game-changer in radiotherapy QA, offering efficiency, reliability, and cost savings.
Here’s what they had to say:
- Streamlined Machine QA: IQM has replaced multiple monthly and annual QA checks, including output, energy, symmetry, flatness, MLC position, and more. Users report significant efficiency gains while maintaining rigorous standards.
- Comprehensive VMAT/SRS/SBRT QA: IQM is being used across all advanced treatment techniques, with users praising its ability to handle full field to the smallest fields seamlessly. One user noted that IQM’s independence from user variability is a key advantage, freeing up staff time and improving consistency.
- A Trusted, Standalone Tool: Many centers have transitioned to using IQM as their primary patient-specific QA tool after an initial comparison phase. The system has proven itself reliable, reducing the need for additional QA devices and eliminating costly hardware redundancies.
- A Future-Proof Investment: Users are optimistic about the system’s evolving capabilities, with interest in expanding its role in online adaptive planning and morning QA. While some centers still use supplementary tools, confidence in IQM grows with experience, leading to reduced reliance on other QA methods.
- Strong ROI & Cost Savings: One user highlighted that replacing traditional QA hardware would require multiple devices costing over $100K, whereas IQM provides a more efficient and streamlined solution.
Of course, no system is perfect, and users have shared a few areas they’d like to see improved, such as easier control over analysis parameters and enhanced reporting features.
