Author: Bozidar Casar, et al, Institute of Oncology, Ljubljana (Slovenia) Summary: Evaluation of the effects of the IQM detector on photon beam properties
Author: Bozidar Casar, et al, Multi-centre study of 9 RT departments Summary: This article discusses the influence of the Integral Quality Monitor (IQM) transmission detector on photon beam properties. The authors evaluated the change of beam quality (beam hardening), surface dose and the beam attenuation of the IQM detector.
Author: Gabriele Guidi, et al, University Hospital of Modena (Italy) Summary: Evaluation of IQM for the verification of TBI treatments. They investigated the influence of the IQM Detector on depth dose curves and beam profiles for an extended SSD of 170cm. The presentation outlines the considerations that should be applied when utilizing IQM for TBI …
Author: Bruce Perrin, et al, Christie Hospital, Manchester (UK) Summary: Investigation of the potential challenges when integrating IQM into a commercial planning system. They compared data measured in a waterphantom with and without the IQM detector for various energies (6,10 & 6FFF). They evaluated the IQM data against clinical models in Pinnacle 9.8 and analyzed …
