VeriSoft software was evaluated for quality assurance in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The software demonstrated benefits for IMRT quality assurance programs by comparing planned and delivered radiation doses.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Radiotherapy Quality Assurance

Background:

  • Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) requires precise verification of dose distributions.
  • Ensuring congruence between treatment planning systems and linear accelerators is critical for patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the utility of VeriSoft software for IMRT quality assurance.
  • To evaluate the accuracy of dose and isodose distribution comparisons between planning systems and delivered radiation.

Main Methods:

  • IMRT plans were generated using the CMS XiO treatment planning system.
  • Plans were delivered on an Elekta SL15 linear accelerator using 6 MV photons.
  • Kodak EDR2 film in RW3 solid water was used for dose measurements.

  • VeriSoft software was employed to compare planned and measured isodose distributions and profiles.

    • Main Results:

    • Measured isodose and profiles generally agreed with planned doses within +/- 3% or +/- 3 mm.
    • Agreement in some regions outside the primary field was within +/- 5%.
    • VeriSoft facilitated on-screen comparison of planning system and film data, enabling electronic record-keeping.

    Conclusions:

    • VeriSoft software offers valuable tools and functions for IMRT quality assurance.
    • The software aids in verifying the accuracy of IMRT dose delivery.
    • Electronic record-keeping capabilities enhance the efficiency of QA processes.
