Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Dosimetry

Background:

  • The MapCHECK system is crucial for quality assurance in radiation therapy.
  • Understanding dose rate dependence is essential for accurate treatment verification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the dose rate dependence of the MapCHECK3 system.
  • To assess the impact of dose rate variations on measurement accuracy.
  • To investigate the effectiveness of dose rate correction methods.

Main Methods:

  • Investigated average and instantaneous dose rate dependence for MapCHECK2 and MapCHECK3.
  • Compared MapCHECK measurements with ion chamber reference data.
  • Developed and applied exponential functions for dose rate correction on MapCHECK3.
  • Analyzed differences in measurements with and without dose rate correction.

Main Results:

  • MapCHECK3 exhibited a maximum dose rate dependence exceeding 2.5%.
  • Uncorrected measurements showed average differences up to 1.0% ± 0.8% in central diode dose.
  • Dose rate correction significantly improved accuracy, reducing differences to as low as 0.0% ± 0.9% and enhancing pass rates.

Conclusions:

  • MapCHECK3 (SunPoint2 diodes) has a more pronounced dose rate dependence than MapCHECK2 (SunPoint1 diodes).
  • Performing dose calibration under measurement conditions is advised for accuracy.
  • Implementing dose rate correction is crucial when calibration and measurement conditions vary.
