IMRT‐application with an add‐on MMLC

In order to provide automatic IMRT dose delivery with an add‐on MMLC a technical integration of a MMLC system with a linear accelerator was realized. The principle of this integration and the changes and enhancements of the existing hard‐and software are briefly described. The system was tested by t...

description In order to provide automatic IMRT dose delivery with an add‐on MMLC a technical integration of a MMLC system with a linear accelerator was realized. The principle of this integration and the changes and enhancements of the existing hard‐and software are briefly described. The system was tested by the automatic delivery of an IMRT plan designed for a head and neck phantom. A verification of dose delivery was performed with film dosimetry. The plan consisting of 78 “step and shoot” segments could be delivered within 17 minutes. A high spatial accuracy of the fluence pattern at the isocentre was reached by a resolution of [Formula: see text] mm(2). The measured dose profiles were within 3% of the maximum dose of the calculated profiles. PACS number(s): 87.53.–j, 87.90.+y
