Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Dosimetry

Background:

  • Accurate reference dosimetry is crucial for radiation therapy, especially for complex techniques like tomotherapy.
  • Standardized protocols ensure consistency and reliability in beam output measurements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement a robust protocol for reference dosimetry in tomotherapy.
  • To validate beam output measurements using an independent dosimetry system.

Main Methods:

  • Beam output was measured in water at 10 cm depth for static and rotational fields.
  • Adopted formalisms for small/nonstandard fields and QA recommendations.
  • Ionization chamber measurements were independently verified using alanine/EPR dosimetry across multiple centers.

Main Results:

  • Static and rotational beam outputs were consistent, with a mean difference of 0.2% across centers.
  • Center-reported doses closely matched independent measurements (D(center)/D(visit) = 1.000 ± 0.003).
  • Ionization chamber and alanine/EPR dosimetry results showed excellent agreement.

Conclusions:

  • The developed local protocol, based on TG-148, effectively verifies tomotherapy beam output.
  • Measurements align well with independent alanine/EPR dosimetry, supporting the protocol's validity.
  • This methodology offers a reliable approach for reference dosimetry in tomotherapy.
