Author: Chiara Arilli, et al, University of Florence, AOU Careggi, Florence (Italy) Summary: The authors evaluated the output signal reproducibility and sensitivity in detecting small errors in delivery parameters of IMRT step and shoot treatments using the IQM System as well as the correlation between IQM signal variations and 3Dγ, 2Dγ and DVH parameters.
Author: David Hoffman, UC Comprehensive Cancer Center, Sacramento (USA) Summary: This article outlines a comprehensive evaluation of the Integral Quality Monitor (IQM) that took place at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center throughout the year 2015.
Author: Jianguo Qian, et al, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore (USA) Summary: The author draws the preliminary conclusion that IQM is a stable dosimetric system and can detect dosimetric deviations caused by small leaf errors in stereotactic radiation therapy. The sensitivity to leaf errors is more pronounced for relatively small fields (i.e., small targets) in SBRT. …

Author: David Hoffman, UC Comprehensive Cancer Center, Sacramento (USA) Summary: Evaluation of the stability and accuracy of each IQM system feature.
Author: Bruce Perrin, et al, Christie Hospital, Manchester (UK) Summary: The authors validated the effectiveness and reliability of the IQM to monitor the correct delivery of daily fractions.
Author: Stefania Pallotta, AOU Careggi, Florence (Italy) Summary: The author states that IQM provides an optimal performance for IMRT QA. Intra-fractional %STD of 0.04% and inter-fractional %STD of up to 0.36% for complex IMRT cases over a period of multiple weeks are the results of this study.
