Techniques Used:

Relative output as a function of field size for the 6 and 18 MV photon beams measured with the MapCHECK and MatriXX, and compared with the measurement using a Farmer‐type ion chamber. Measurement was done in a solid water phantom at 100 cm source to detector distance (SDD) and 10 cm depth. Field sizes varied from 4 × 4 cm 2 to 22 × 22 cm 2 .

Techniques Used:

Relative output as a function of SDD for the 6 and 18 MV photon beams measured with the MapCHECK and MatriXX, and compared with the measurement using a Farmer‐type ion chamber. The depth of the detectors was at 10 cm with a fixed field size of 10 × 10 cm 2 . The SDDs varied from 80 cm to 150 cm.

Techniques Used:

Beam profiles of a half‐beam blocked 10 × 10 cm 2 field measured with the MapCHECK ( * ) and MatriXX (o) in the single detector mode at 10 cm depth with 1 mm steps, covering ±15 mm of the beam edge. Accurate movement of the detectors was achieved using a robotic treatment couch top. The convolved profiles using the best fit Gaussians are also shown as solid curves with σ of 2.4 mm and 2.6 mm for the 6 and 18 MV beams, respectively.

Techniques Used:

DTA comparison between MatriXX/MapCHECK measurements and TPS calculations of one of the IMRT segments. The TPS calculations were done using both a beam model (BM1) commissioned using a finite‐sized ion chamber (CC04) measured beam profiles and a beam mode (BM2) commissioned using true beam profiles. DTA criteria of 2 % / 2 mm were used for the comparison and the passing rates are labeled in the top left corners. The blue dots represent failed points where the measurements are lower than TPS calculations; the red dots represent failed points where the measurements are higher than TPS calculations. comparison between MatriXX and BM1; (b) comparison between MapCHECK and BM1; (c) comparison between MatriXX and BM2; (d) comparison between MapCHECK and BM2.

Passing rates between  MapCHECK  and TPS calculated dose distributions and MatriXX and TPS calculated dose distributions for three 6 MV IMRT fields and three 18 MV IMRT fields. Both the original TPS calculated dose distributions and the TPS calculated dose distributions convolved with a Gaussian with a σ of 2.5 mm were used to compare with the MatriXX measured dose distributions.
