MultiCheck LINAC QC Software

Software program to check the consistent performance of linear accelerators by using PTW 2D ion chamber arrays

MultiCheck LINAC QC Software
 

Features

  • Suitable for fast and easy daily constancy tests of photon and electron beams from LINACs using PTW 2D arrays
  • Checks flatness, symmetry, dose deviation in the central axes, wedge angle of dynamic, virtual and fixed wedges as well as the congruency of light and radiation fields
  • Checks beam quality with BQ-CHECK phantom
  • Compares all parameters to a reference data record and displays deviations
  • Enables tracking parameters via a statistic function
  • Creates a comprehensive data analysis according to selectable dosimetry protocols and the protocols of the accelerator manufacturers
  • Provides snapshoot mode for fast checking of the beam

MultiCheck is a Windows based software for fast and easy-to-handle routine constancy tests of high-energy photon and electron beams from linear accelerators. Reference files for different accelerators and different beam parameters can be defined. MultiCheck is based on two-dimensional dose measurements by the 2D flat panel arrays 2D-ARRAY seven29 and STARCHECK. By evaluating the dose matrices, the relevant LINAC quality parameters are compared to original reference values, which are stored together with tolerance thresholds. Measuring results, parameter variations and tolerance excesses are presented in either numeric or graphic format. The progress of test results combined with statistical evaluations is shown. Profiles can be analyzed after different protocols. With the BQ-CHECK phantom placed on the 2D-ARRAY seven29 or STARCHECK the beam quality can be checked without additional measurements. The software offers air density correction of the ion chamber measuring values. The data can be exported to Excel sheets for further evaluation.
