[Results of Five-year Quality Control Program and the Change of QA Mode for Helical Tomotherapy Machine]
Abstract:
Helical tomotherapy (HT), as a new IMRT technology, utilizes a fan beam of radiation for treatment. It combines the main characteristics of a modern CT scanner and a linear accelerator to achieve the function of helical tomotherapy. Due to the complexity of the system with a highly integrated and automated features, monitoring its operation, continuing to improve the stability and reliability, and simplifying its quality control procedures has become an important part of quality assurance (QA) for HT. Based on the results of afi ve-year quality control (QC) program, and the initial application of new QA equipment, this study wil summarize the standardization mode of its QA and explore the changes of QA mode.

Quality Control
Quality control helps track data, visualize trends, and identify variations, making it easier to detect deviations that may affect the accuracy of an analysis. One way to do this is by generating a quality control chart, which...
What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...
