Abstract:Purpose:
This study aimed to investigate the influence of calibration field size on the gamma passing rate (GPR) in patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA).
Methods:
Two independent detectors, PTW OCTAVIUS 4D (4DOCT) and Arc Check, were utilised in volumetric modulated arc therapy plans for 26 patients (14 with Arc Check and 12 with 4DOCT). Plans were administered using Varian Unique machine (with 4DOCT) and Varian TrueBeam (with Arc Check), each employing different calibration factors… Show more
