Patient QA: prioritizing accuracy, efficiency and throughput in the SRS/SBRT workflowDeveloped specifically for verification of stereotactic treatment plans, IBA Dosimetry’s latest innovation in patient quality assurance (QA) combines film-class measurement resolution with the workflow efficiency of a digital detector array.The myQA SRS detector will eliminate patient QA bottlenecks associated with high-precision stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) treatments, allowing medical physicists to compare dose distributions – measured versus calculated – in minutes rather than hours and significantly enhancing patient throughput in the process. When Accuracy matters, Resolution mattersThis detector is optimized for your SRS/SBRT Patient QA and features a novel 0.4 mm film-class resolution CMOS technology array with 105,000 measurement points. The solution includes a dedicated phantom to support your efficient QA for different stereotactic delivery methods.![]() Notwithstanding the growing clinical adoption of stereotactic treatment systems, the extreme physics of SRS/SBRT – focusing high-dose radiation very precisely on a small lesion and having it fall off as quickly as possible – represents a non-trivial dosimetric and QA challenge for the medical physics team. Put simply: it’s not easy to confirm targeting accuracy and dose-distribution accuracy when the stereotactic treatment volume can be as small as a few millimetres in diameter – and doubly so when the existing QA options for SRS/SBRT are unsatisfactory, claims Sandra Kos, product manager for patient QA solutions at IBA Dosimetry.

On the other hand, 2D diode arrays and ion-chamber arrays are able to generate results rapidly, but lack the necessary spatial resolution and error-detection sensitivity for SRS/SBRT QA.” With myQA SRS, Kos argues, that accuracy versus efficiency trade-off no longer applies. “We have created a unique SRS/SBRT QA solution that delivers film-class resolution along with the proven workflow efficiency of a digital detector.”
