| Abstract | The analysis of the VMAT QA process performed over a clinical database of 1,000 patients was satisfactory, with results comparable with that of conventional IMRT. The EPID and IMSureQA® tools were proven to be suitable for routine clinical treatment plan QA. γ < 1 q Since May 2010, 1000 patients have benefited from the VMAT technique (VARIAN®). Patient specific QA was performed for each treatment: § Absolute dose measurements in water equivalent phantom. § Comparison of dose distributions calculated by Eclipse (AAA_10.0.28, grid 2mm, VARIAN®) with that measured by portal dosimetry using the EPIQA 2.1 (EPIDOS®) software. § Comparison of Eclipse® calculations with the IMSureQA® V3.3 (Standard Imaging® ) independent calculation algorithm. |
