![]() We have developed and implemented an efficient and highly sensitive QA procedure using an ionization chamber profiler (ICP) array to enable real-time characterization of the positional accuracy of a double-focused and double-stacked MLC on a clinical MR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) system and to supplement calculation-based QA for an MRgoART program.Īn in-house MR-compatible jig was used to position the ICP (detector resolution 5 mm on X/Y axis) at an extended SDD of 108.4 cm to enable each MLC leaf (8.3 mm leaf width at isocenter) to be uniquely determined by two neighboring ion chambers. ![]() As such, it is important to assure compliance with the AAPM TG142 guidelines to supplement calculation-based QA methods for an online adaptive radiotherapy program. With advance magnetic resonance (MR)-guided online adaptive radiotherapy (MRgoART) relying on calculation-based intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) quality assurance (QA), accurate and sensitive QA of the multileaf collimator (MLC) becomes an increasingly essential component for routine machine QA.
