Robust Solutions for Patient Specific QA

ClearCalc and RadMonteCarlo offer unique methods for validating pre-treatment patient plan accuracy.

BIG PICTURE

Enhance your PSQA Program

This full-feature PSQA functionality is included with your standard subscriptions. Experience the future of IMRT and VMAT QA with ClearCalc and RadMonteCarlo the Radformation way. Whether you’re going phantom-less or want to complement your existing PSQA program, our tools will propel you forward.

Let's dive into log file analysis and consider how log files coupled with RadMonteCarlo may complement or change the way you perform IMRT and VMAT QA.

Log File Analysis

Log file analysis leverages data captured during plan delivery. Available for both ClearCalc with FSPB and RadMonteCarlo, the delivery information contained in treatment log files are carefully reconstructed for an in-depth comparison of the delivered dose to the original plan data.

ClearCalc Finite-Size Pencil Beam Analysis

The ClearCalc Log File Analysis module provides a quick and accurate assessment of key delivery parameters to ensure high-quality delivery. Coupled with the Finite-Size Pencil Beam for secondary calculations, ClearCalc is an ideal tool for routine plan verification.

RadMonteCarlo 3D Analysis

RadMonteCarlo harnesses the power and speed of cloud computing to perform a full Monte Carlo simulation on the delivered log file treatment parameters. This gold-standard approach ensures the most accurate dose reconstruction for unparalleled confidence in your PSQA results.

Elekta Compatibility and Integration

ClearCalc monitors real-time treatment delivery information via an independent log file monitor application. The log file monitor runs as a background Windows service and captures delivered treatment in real-time. Extracted log file data is saved to a user-configured storage location specified within the log file monitor settings and then is written to a file and encrypted for security.

Independent EPID QA Module

ClearCalc performs double duty, taking PSQA to the next level with EPID QA. This method uses your machine's MV imaging panel to acquire portal images. Portal images, per field, are converted to equivalent dose in water for comparison to planned dose for valuable insights to ensure the quality and safety of you patient plan.

 

ClearCalc's EPID QA allows you to efficiently check the accuracy of your most complex treatment plans directly on the treatment machine using your portal imaging device. EPID QA provides a convenient and simple way to perform routine PSQA. With ClearCalc, it comes with a familiar, user-friendly interface that you know and trust.

Gamma Index
EPID Analysis
EPID Profiles

EPID QA comes complete with all the analysis and reporting tools you need for IMRT and VMAT QA:


    • 2D gamma index analysis (absolute or relative) which provides pass/fail results per field or composite

    • Predefined gamma criteria (or adjust on-the-fly)

    • Low dose threshold to ignore low dose regions in analysis

    • Ability to shift the acquired dose plane relative to planned

    • Color gradient percent difference or gamma index color wash bitmap

    • Dose plane profiles with active cursor displays local percent difference

Results are analyzed and displayed in two different ways, using the Percent Difference or Gamma Index Analysis, to provide options for clinical users.

RadMonteCarlo 3D Analysis

With gold-standard calculations applied to the entire dataset, a full 3D gamma analysis for target structures, organs at risk, and the full dose matrix is available.

Log Files for IMRT QA?

Whether clinicians are looking to replace traditional phantom-based QA with log file-based QA or use it to complement their phantom-based PSQA program, we’re here for it.
