Patient QA
General Patient QA
As a leading innovator in precision automated QA, Radiological Imaging Technology® developed the first automated IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy) analysis, now commonly referred to as Patient QA. RIT's Patient QA analyses provides clinical physicists with the tools necessary to analyze this advanced cancer treatment, thereby participating in the rapid availability of this treatment, both in the United States and worldwide.
EPID QA: Cut Out the Middle Machine
Rotational Therapy & IMRT
- Eliminate unnecessary middle-step image capture devices
- Save $20,000 to $150,000 in purchase price alone
- Cut costs for repair, replacement, and service contracts from your budget
- Significantly improve your QA results with higher resolution and 64-bit processing
- Perform the easiest, most precise QA analysis routines available
- Speed up your QA procedures even more using RunQueueA batch analysis
General Patient QA highlights include:
- Isodose
- Distance-to-Agreement (DTA)
- Gamma Function
- Subtraction
- Centroid Measurement
The newly-added Centroid Plot compares two images and measures any shift between the centroids. This is an excellent way of quantifying any alignment or setup errors between two images. This routine is conveniently-located within the main Patient QA interface.
- Automated Image Fill for Anthropomorphic Phantom QA
Use this newly-added function in the ‘Edit’ menu 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. This feature supports a wide variety of anthropomorphic phantoms, including those used for CyberKnife® patient QA.
PDF Export Options
Easily export the results of all patient QA measurements, including those performed in RIT's automated batch analysis feature, RunQueueA, to a customizable PDF report to display your most significant data.
TomoTherapy® Registration
Easily perform exact dose comparisons for TomoTherapy® Patient QA. The new, innovative wizard uses a TomoTherapy® plan, a dose map, and a film to determine position and dose accuracy, using the red or green lasers. (NOTE: Currently, green lasers are only supported for Accuray Precision® 2.0.0.0 and above treatment planning systems.) This automated technique extends standard registration methods, as the isocenter location is not required to be in the center of the exposed dose region. Coronal or Sagittal slices may be analyzed. This routine only supports the following Accuray Treatment Planning Systems:
- TomoH V 5.1.3 Build 5.1.3.9
- Precision® 1.1.0.0 Build 56037
- Precision® 1.1.1.1 Build 11
- Precision® 2.0.0.0 Build 64
- Precision® 2.0.1.0 Build 14
- Precision® 2.0.1.1 Build 5
- Precision® 3.0.0.0 Build 68
- Precision® 3.1.0.0 Build 42
- Precision® 3.2.0.0 Build 30
- Precision® 3.3.0.0 Build 49
- Precision® 3.3.1.0 Build 9

Plan-Based Calibration
RIT's patented Plan-Based Calibration routine gives you the ability to make quick relative or absolute comparisons between any dose map and your Film, EPID, CR and ion chamber array images! Using any dose map images (no special patterns needed), another image can be calibrated. Overlaying this calibration with an existing absolute calibration can give you a measurement of the overall accuracy. This technique can be used to eliminate field size dependencies in film, EPID and CR images. It can also be used with an ion chamber array to produce fast absolute dose calibration at a multitude of points.

Other Modalities
3D Gels and Solids
Take advantage of a full 3D data set by using 3D Gels and Solids with the RIT Family of Products software packages. Whether you use your own 'octopus' tomographic laser scanner, or send your gel to MGS research to be scanned, you can import those files into RIT software for dose analysis. MGS claims resolutions up to 0.3 mm per slice.
CR
The RIT Family of Products fully support digital images from the Kodak / Carestream 2000RT and other CR equipment. DICOM files are easily converted to RIT format, giving you the complete palette of the RIT Family of Products routines and functionality. You get the precision of RIT dosimetry and the ease of a filmless system.
Film
Precision is the entire point of IMRT, IGRT, and VMAT. For many years, film dosimetry was the gold standard tool for the high resolution images that are the cornerstone of QA testing. Although many of our users have transitioned to using their EPID with the RIT Family of Products, film is always an option. Speed and efficiency are critical to a busy treatment center, but obtaining the most accurate dose analysis possible is the real responsibility.
