Sumario:American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) task group (TG) 142 has recently published a report to update recommendations of the AAPM TG 40 report and add new recommendations concerning medical accelerators in the era of image‐guided radiation therapy (IGRT). The recommendations of AAPM TG 142 on IGRT are timely. In our institute, we established a comprehensive imaging QA program on a medical accelerator based on AAPM TG 142 and implemented it successfully. In this paper, we share our one‐year experience and performance evaluation of an OBI capable linear accelerator, Novalis Tx, per TG 142 guidelines. PACS numbers: 87.57.‐s, 87.57.C‐, 87.57.uq, 87.59.‐e, 87.59.bd
