Assessment and evaluation of MV image guidance system performance in radiotherapy

Abstract: We conclude that the MV image guidance system is efficient to perform IGRT and insist to perform periodic QA tests and calibration for the system.

“…The positioning accuracy of the imager with respect to the treatment beam, geometric accuracy of the CBCT system, image quality of the planar and CBCT images were studied through periodic quality assurance programme. 9 The accuracy of the isocentre with respect to the gantry was measured to be less than 1 mm. We use the Siemens MV CBCT system routinely for accurate patient positioning for conformal treatment techniques.…”

“…Ponadto powinna ona rozwiązywać wszelkie problemy interdyscyplinarne związane z IGRT. Należy tu podkreślić fakt, iż technika IGRT wiąże się również z wydłużeniem czasu leczenia przypadającego na jednego pacjenta oraz czasu potrzebnego na wykonanie niezbędnych testów kontroli jakości [16]. Prof. Langen zaznaczyła konieczność dodatkowych szkoleń wszystkich grup zawodowych zaangażowanych w proces IGRT.…”
