Outline
*S/C/SC = Synchrotron (S) or Cyclotron (C) or SynchroCyclotron (SC)**HBL = fixed Horizontal Beam Line***VBL = fixed Vertical Beam Line
LIBT FACILITIES AUDITED
Phantoms & detectors (1) Homogeneous phantom
➢ Homogenous Polystyrene phantom (1.06g/cm3)
➢ Seven plates, each with a size of 20x20x3 cm3
➢ Customized to allocate different detectors:
✓Farmer chamber (PTW 30013)
✓ 20 Alanine pellets
✓ 2 EBT3 Films

Phantoms & detectors (2) Head phantom
➢ Customization of head phantom in collaboration with CIRS (Tissue Simulation & Phantom Technology) :
- 3 EBT3 films in the head-neck region
- 2 Ionization chambers (Farmer PTW 30013)
- 22 Alanine pellets

End-to-end test procedures
End-to-end test of the entire logistic chain of radiation treatment starting from CTscanning, treatment planning, monitor calibration, patient positioning and beamdelivery. The whole clinical workflow was reproduced as during patient treatment.

End-to-end test procedures
➢ Box shaped target (8x8x12 cm3 - 768 cc)
➢ Beam arrangement: Gantry 90⁰, Couch 270⁰
➢ 20 alanine pellets in the target volume – Farmer chamber at center of the target
➢ Prescribed dose 11 Gy(RBE)
Homogeneous phantom – One Beam
Results for all facilities – Homogeneous phantom
➢ Average deviation over 20 alanine pellets at each beam line
➢ Average deviation of alanine overall beam lines -0.1 ± 1.0 % (k=2 is 2.0%)
Head phantom – one beam
➢ Cylinder shaped target (230 cc)
➢ Beam arrangement: Gantry 90⁰, Couch 0⁰
➢ 22 alanine pellets in the target volume – Farmer chamber at center of the target
➢ Prescribed dose 11 Gy(RBE)
Results for all facilities – Head phantom
➢ Average deviation over 22 alanine pellets at each beam line
➢ Average deviation of alanine overall beam lines -0.2 ± 1.2 % (k=2 is 2.4%)
Results for all facilities – Alanine vs Farmer chamber
➢ Alanine and Farmer chamber agrees on average -0.5 ± 0.6% in the homogenous phantom
➢ Alanine and Farmer chamber agrees on average -0.4 ± 0.5% in the head phantom
➢ Largest deviation -1.2% in both phantoms
➢ An innovative dosimetry audit service (MedAustron&NPL) has been offered
to the proton therapy community based on the experience gained at
MedAustron.
➢ TPS planned dose is in agreement with Farmer chamber and alanine
measurements within ± 3% at all 5 LIBT facilities included in the study.
➢ Internal dosimetry consistency between alanine and Farmer chamber
measurements was within ± 1.2% in all the phantoms.
➢ Development of dosimetry audit based end-to-end testing for carbon ion
beams is on going at MedAustron.
