Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Radiotherapy Physics

Background:

  • Accurate multileaf collimator (MLC) modeling and commissioning are critical for complex radiation treatment plans.
  • Traditional film-based dosimetry methods can be time-consuming for MLC commissioning.
  • Developing efficient and accurate data collection tools is essential for modern radiotherapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a data-collecting package named ExpressMLC for MLC modeling.
  • To investigate the applicability of the MapCHECK2 2D diode array for MLC modeling and commissioning.
  • To compare the efficiency and accuracy of MapCHECK2 with traditional film-based methods.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the ExpressMLC package incorporating realistic MLC parameters.
  • Used 8 single-beam plans from ExpressMLC for parameter determination.
  • Commissioned the MLC model using 4 AAPM TG 119 IMRT plans, recalculated on MapCHECK2 and compared with Varian accelerator measurements.

Main Results:

  • MapCHECK2 achieved gamma passing rates >90.9% (3%/2mm) and >89.3% (2%/2mm) for per-beam dose verification.
  • MapCHECK2 demonstrated composite beam dose verification with gamma passing rates >95.9% (3%/2mm) and >90.3% (2%/2mm).
  • No statistically significant difference (p > 0.36) was found between MapCHECK2 and film-based verification, indicating comparable accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • The ExpressMLC package and MapCHECK2 are suitable for MLC modeling and commissioning, providing sufficient data for parameter determination.
  • MapCHECK2 serves as an effective alternative to films for MLC modeling and commissioning.
  • This approach enhances the efficiency of MLC modeling and commissioning without sacrificing accuracy in radiation therapy.
