Medical Physicists from three of the world’s leading Radiation Therapy Centers, including Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, Mayo Clinic in Rochester, and Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, have paved the way for a new era in Machine QA for linear accelerators. Adhering to the standards of the AAPM TG-142 protocol, these experts […]

Machine Quality Assurance (QA) in radiation therapy ensures that the radiation treatment is delivered as safely, accurately and effectively as possible. The increasing complexity of advanced treatment techniques makes Machine QA processes more time and resource intensive, challenging the clinical staff to balance QA with clinical demands. Using the Integral Quality Monitor (IQM) System for

iRT Systems is thrilled to announce a significant enhancement to the IQM system. We have taken a giant leap forward in optimizing Machine Quality Assurance (MQA) processes, making your workflow even more efficient, accurate, and patient-centric. Our latest innovation brings the powerful capabilities of IQM to the forefront of radiation therapy QA. IQM is no

Standardization and quality elevation in radiation therapy are vital for patient safety, treatment effectiveness, and the advancement of cancer care. It ensures that all patients have access to the best possible treatments, regardless of where they receive care. The Integral Quality Monitor (IQM) System is designed to ensure a consistent and high standard of treatment

  A recent publication of D. Jaffray. et al in Nature Cancer (Sept. 2023) titled Harnessing progress in radiotherapy for global cancer control highlights improving outcomes in cancer control due to the significant progress in radiation therapy over the last years. It also addresses the challenges in making this proven therapy available to cancer patients

An increasing number of clinics are incorporating the innovative technology of the IQM System for the verification of Stereotactic treatment techniques like multi-lesion and single lesion SRS as well as Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) / Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) The new IQM SRS QA expansion is a game-changing solution, revolutionizing the way clinicians ensure

University Hospital Southampton poster details use of IQM to verify single-isocenter multiple brainmets treatments. Southampton General Hospital, part of the University Hospital Southampton, is the largest clinical center of the NHS Foundation Trust. The radiotherapy center is equipped with 6 state-of-the-art Elekta linear accelerators making University Hospital Southampton one of the largest radiotherapy centers in

Online treatment monitoring during radiotherapy refers to the use of technology to remotely monitor and track the delivery of radiation therapy in real-time. This can include monitoring the treatment beam delivery, patient positioning, and other factors that can affect the accuracy of the treatment. Online treatment monitoring during the patient treatment identifies and corrects errors

Sunshine Coast University Hospital offers advanced radiation services to the Sunshine Coast and Gympie regions in Queensland, Australia. The Radiation Therapy Clinic is equipped with 3 state-of-the-art Elekta Versa HD Linear Accelerators. The clinic implemented IQM to completely automate their pre-treatment Plan QA as well as their routine Machine QA processes at each of their
