External beams patient dose verification based on the IQM output signals
Author:
Courage Mahuvava, et al, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein (South Africa)
Summary:
The purpose of this study was to make use of IQM field output signals to calculate the MUs delivered through an arbitrary treatment field in order to convert Monte Carlo-generated dose distributions in a patient model into absolute dose.
One year clinical experience with the IQM
Author:
Marlies Pasler, Lake Constance Radiation Oncology, Singen-Friedrichshafen (Germany)
Summary:
Download the full presentation summarizing the first year’s clinical experience of using IQM for online QA during every single treatment fraction.. This presentation was given by Marlies Pasler, PhD at the ASTRO 2019 Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL
Plan QA with IQM (German)
Author:
Sonja Wegener, et al, Unversity Clinic Wurzburg (Germany)
Summary:
Clinical experience using IQM for VMAT Plan QA.
White Paper: Matching with IQM – The GenesisCare experience
Author:
Kilian Michel, et al, iRT Systems, Koblenz (Germany)
Summary:
Four (4) Elekta Versa HD Linear accelerators at different sites within a network of 16 cancer centers were matched for the 6MV beam energy. As part of commissioning IQM detectors at each of the 16 sites we investigated the agreement of IQM and waterphantom measurements among the four matched machines and implemented a universal beam model to calculate predicted IQM measurements for them.
A new wedge-shaped ion chamber component for BEAMnrc to model the IQM System
Author:
Oluwaseyi Michael Oderinde, et al, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein (South Africa)
Summary:
Development of a new component module (CM) to accurately model the IQM to be used in the BEAMnrc Monte Carlo (MC) code
Integrating IQM into a commercial planning system
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 the magnitude of adjustments assessed. They finally verified their results by delivering various treatment plans to the Delta 4 through IQM.
