Abstract:
 Abstract: Objective To explore the practicability of dose verification of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volume modulated arc therapy (VMAT) on Elekta (Synergy) linear accelerator via Rapidose dose analysis software combined with electronic portal imaging device (EPID). Methods Eleven IMRT plans and 6 VMAT plans were randomly selected. The gamma passing rates of these plans were measured with different validation devices (EPID, MatriXX, ArcCHECK and CC13 ionization chamber) and compared under different gamma standards (5 mm, 3%; 3 mm, 3%; 2 mm, 2%). Results The gamma passing rates measured with EPID were (99.86±0.13)%, (99.06±0.45)%, (92.17±4.89)% for IMRT plans, and (99.77±0.21)%, (97.75±1.20)%, (85.91±6.82)% for VMAT plans. The gamma passing rates measured with MatriXX were (99.47±0.95)%, (98.60±1.10)%, (90.56±5.07)% for IMRT plans, and (99.51±0.40)%, (97.24±1.05)%, (87.21±4.17)% for VMAT plans. The gamma passing rates measured with ArcCHECK were (99.34±0.46)%, (98.21±1.31)%, (89.89±1.70)% for IMRT plans, and (99.93±0.08)%, (98.66±0.35)% and (96.03±2.90)% for VMAT plans. The dose deviation of CC13 ionization chamber was (1.10±1.84)% and (0.59±1.31)% for IMRT plans and VMAT plans, respectively. The paired-t test comparison results revealed that all measurements of the 3 devices met the clinical requirements. Conclusion EPID can be combined with Rapidose dose analysis software to meet the clinical dose verification requirements of IMRT plans and VMAT plans.
