  • Photon Beam Quality Assurance with the IQM System: A Multicenter Study

    This multi-center study by A. Veres, M. Farrokhkish, J. DeMarco and their colleagues was presented as a poster at the 2018 AAPM Annual Meeting in Nashville, TN. The clinical research group developed and validated an efficient machine performance and quality assurance (QA) protocol using the IQM system. The authors concluded that the IQM system provides a very efficient process for performing quality control and quality assurance of a linear accelerator. Download the poster to learn how the IQM system provides an automated approach for an efficient dosimetric characterization of a linear accelerator.

David Jaffray, Ph.D. Head of Radiation Physics Department, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Canada

"The best idea I have seen in years..."

Uwe Götz, Medical Physicist, St. Vincenz Krankenhaus, Limburg, Germany

"A physics tool for the independent verification of the final beam product."

Robert Heaton, Ph.D. Medical Physicist, University of Toronto, Canada

"Measuring with IQM is a piece of cake..."

Lan Lin Ph.D. Medical Physicist, Johns Hopkins Group, Washington, D.C., USA

"I see endless possibilities..."

Henk Huizenga, Ph.D. Head of Radiation Oncology Physics, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands

"As systems and delivery techniques are becoming more and more complex, the human factor and its contribution to the detection and prevention of errors is becoming less effective. The IQM is an automated tool that breaks that complexity by providing the user an independent and highly precise tool to monitor the accuracy of the delivery."

Luis Fong de los Santos, Ph.D. Medical Physicist, Mayo Clinic Rochester, USA

"The IQM System is a highly sensitive dose monitoring device.”

Stefania Pallotta, Department of Experimental and Clinical Biomedical Sciences “Mario Serio”, University of Florence, Florence, Italy

"IQM is an especially good candidate for monitoring small fields due to its unique detector design"

David Hoffman, Ph.D., Medical Physicist, University of California San Diego, USA

"Why didn't anybody think of this before?"

A sentence that we hear during almost every presentation.

"Our study demonstrates clinically negligible changesin beam quality and surface dose for all investigated beams.”

Bozidar Casar, Ph.D., Medical Physicist, Institute of Oncology Ljubljana, Slovenia

"The results of our study demonstrate the clear and consistent correlation of the IQM signal with DVH metrics.”

Livia Marrazzo, Medical Physic Unit, Careggi University Hospital, Florence, Italy

"IQM is a key component of our automated treatment quality control and allows us to fully comply with the requirements defined in the 2013/59/EURATOM directive."

Holger Wirtz, Lake Constance Radiation Oncology Center, Singen-Friedrichshafen, Germany

"The quick setup and fully automated handling of all clinical data significantly reduces the time we need for Plan QA. Our clinical evaluation has shown that the error detection capability of the IQM System is at least as good, and in many cases even better, than with conventional 3D phantoms."

Otto Sauer, Ph.D., Head of Medical Physics, University of Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany
