Author: Sonja Wegener, et al, Unversity Clinic Wurzburg (Germany) Summary: Evaluation of the IQM System for IMRT plan QA. The IQM Calculation algorithm has been validated for a wide spectrum of clinical IMRT cases. The error sensitivity of the IQM System has been tested with a variety of induced errors. The error detection capability of …
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: Martijn Kusters, Richard Canters, Radboud UMC, Nijmegen (The Netherlands) Summary: The IQM enables a clinic to do real-time, intra-fraction monitoring of beam delivery. The error sensitivity and specificity can be expected to be sufficient for clinical practice, and performs at least as well as their current equipment (Scandidos Delta 4)
Author: Makan Farrokhkish, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto (Canada) Summary: IQM is well suited to verify state-of-the-art SBRT treatments utilizing FFF Rapid Arc treatments on a Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator
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. …
