RIT Classic
RIT's original software product for Machine QA, MLC QA, and Patient QA, developed to enable medical physicists to perform all necessary analyses.
Balance your need for efficiency and responsibility for accuracy with RIT Classic. RIT Classic is RIT’s original software product package, developed to enable Medical Physicists to perform all the necessary analyses with both efficiency and accuracy in Machine QA, MLC QA, and Patient QA. RIT Classic is one of the few products on the market that has the capability to analyze images from all sources, including EPID, 2D arrays, film (Vidar and flatbed scanners), gel, and CR.
MACHINE QA
Daily, Monthly, and Annual Machine QA for LINACs
- Enhanced 3D Winston-Lutz (Isocenter Optimization) with Virtual Star Shot*
Automatically process a set of EPID Winston-Lutz images for a fast and accurate measurement of isocenter position. RIT’s version of this test allows you to use 3 to 16 images, and provides error estimates for ball setup and wobble around isocenter. Increased angle flexibility allows you to mimic more clinically relevant angles to determine isocenter at specific treatment configurations.

MLC QA
Elekta LINAC
- Hancock Tests for Elekta Machines
The Hancock Tests (2-Image Test, 4-Image Test, and With Backup Jaw Test) use the Elekta iView™ imager to automatically measure leaf position vs. isocenter position, and jaw leaf setback measurements. - Elekta Leaf Speed Test
This test aligns two images to analyze the consistency of the leaf speed for both Elekta iView™ and Agility™. - EPID Picket Fence Test
This routine automates the classic picket fence test.
Varian LINAC
- Automated Varian RapidArc® Tests
Images may be taken at any distance from EPID, Film, or CR Images. This includes: Tests 0.1, 0.2, 1.1, 1.2, 2, and 3. RIT’s RapidArc QA routines support the Millennium 120, HD120 MLC, and Halcyon® MLC models. - Varian Leaf Speed Test
Without the use of log files, this test measures the consistency and accuracy of Varian MLC leaf speeds as they move across an imager. - Varian Halcyon® MLC Analysis
Perform a picket fence or comprehensive RapidArc® analysis of the Halcyon® MLC. - EPID Picket Fence Test
This routine automates the classic picket fence test.
Other MLC Tests
- Bayouth MLC Analysis
Analyze MLCs that require leaf gaps between banks. - Additional MLC Tests
These include: TG-50 Picket Fence Test, MSK Leaf Test, Varian DMLC Test Patterns, and MLC Transmission analysis.

Automated Image Fill for Anthropomorphic Phantom QA
- Use this function to automatically correct and fill any holes or cutouts in the image file. Perform patient QA with an anthropomorphic phantom for both calibrated and uncalibrated images.
Patient QA Image Registration
-
Simultaneously perform fully-automated registration control point positioning in both traditional and RunQueueA (automated batch analysis) IMRT. Template-based registration may also be performed.
Dose Calibrations
- Perpendicular dose calibration
- Parallel dose calibration
- MLC calibration technique
(Patents: EP 1318857, CA 2418232, JP 3817176, US 6675116, US 6934653, and US 7013228) - iView™ calibration
- Kodak CR (perpendicular and spatial calibrations),
- Optical density (OD) calibration
- Daily output factor adjustment for calibration curves.
- Scanner Spatial Calibration
The spatial calibration is not a dose conversion, but rather a means to determine the exact pixel size for the Vidar film scanner or flatbed scanner. This gives you the most accurate distance measurements. - PDD Table Editor
