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.
美国医学物理学家协会(AAPM)工作组(TG)142 最近发布了一份报告,旨在更新 AAPM TG 40 报告的建议,并为图像引导放射治疗(IGRT)时代的医疗加速器添加新的建议。AAPM TG 142 关于 IGRT 的建议是及时的。在我们的研究所,我们根据 AAPM TG 142 建立了一个基于医疗加速器的全面成像 QA 计划,并成功实施了该计划。在本文中,我们根据 TG 142 指南分享了我们在 OBI 能力线性加速器 Novalis Tx 上的一年经验和性能评估。
