We are pleased to share highlights from our latest IQM Webinar Series where
Ruben Duwaerts, Medical Physicist at AZ Turnhout,
shared his clinical experience using IQM for the verification of breast VMAT treatment techniques.
AZ Turnhout has successfully integrated the IQM System into their clinical workflow, demonstrating its efficiency in treatment verification.
Breast VMAT Treatment: Optimized for Precision
AZ Turnhout employs VMAT for breast treatments, optimizing dosimetric accuracy while streamlining quality assurance.
Their fractionation regimens include:
- 5 x 5.20Gy, 15 x 2.67Gy, and 19 x 2.30Gy patterns
- Boost/SIB techniques for dose escalation
- Advanced motion management with DIBH & surface scanning
- Daily CBCT imaging for positioning accuracy
IQM for Breast VMAT QA: A Game Changer
Ruben’s presentation highlighted the major advantages of IQM in breast VMAT verification:
- Easy setup with no risk of setup errors
- Fast, automated QA with immediate feedback
- No field size limitations—applicable to all photon treatments
- Huge time savings, reducing QA burden significantly
The presentation showcased how IQM streamlines workflows while ensuring high-quality, efficient verification in breast VMAT treatments.
“IQM saves us a tremendous amount of time.
It fits perfectly into our workflow and provides immediate verification without any setup errors.”
