Clinical dosimetry commissioning of 1.5 T MR-linac / 中华放射肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To introduce the clinical dosimetry commissioning methods and results of the 1.5 T MR-linac.Methods:In May, 2019, an Elekta Unity 1.5 T MR-linac was installed in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and dosimetry commissioning was performed with magnetic field compatible measuring instruments. Commissioning items include absolute dose calibration, data acquisition and planning system model verification.Results:Absolute dose calibration in magnetic field should be corrected by magnetic field correction factor. The standard output dose of Unity was 87 cGy. Gamma analysis (3%/2 mm) was performed on the beam collection data and the planning system calculation data. The average pass rate of dose verification of standard field test cases was 96.41%, and the TG119 test case was 98.24%. The IROC end to end test case was 97.5%(7%/4 mm).Conclusions:The planning system model and the beam collection data have good consistency. The dose verification results of the standard field and TG119 test cases meet the general tolerance limit requirements of the AAPM TG218 report, and the verification results of the IROC end-to-end test cases meet the IROC center standards.
