- Delivery of even the most complicated treatments with confidence
- Measurements with the most accurate 3D verification system
Combined Monte Carlo and log file Patient QA
myQA iON combines machine log files with a Monte Carlo algorithm from the beginning to the end of your patient treatments.
- Achieve accuracy on par with the most advanced TPS systems with the SciMoCa™ Monte Carlo Algorithm
- Perform your pre-treatment QA with the SciMoCa Monte Carlo algorithm
- Validate delivered dose during treatment with the SciMoCa Monte Carlo algorithm combined with log files
- Prepare for an adaptive future with tools such as plan complexity analysis
Efficient task-based workflow
myQA iON has an optimized, automated workflow to save time and speed up your QA process.
- Speed up your QA process with automated dose calculations, in the background
- Assign tasks to specific users with the optimized patient or task lists view
- Identify any potential errors or dose deviations using advanced, yet easy to use, tools
Safe delivery of patient treatment
To ensure accurate and unbiased QA results, a system is required that is unbiased and independent from the treatment planning system vendor.
- Utilize all DICOM information from your based treatment planning systems
- Analyze your results using advanced 3D tools such as DVH’s and clinical goals
- Identify the source of any potential dose deviations or errors
- Understand the clinical relevance and source of potential deviation and errors
Testimonial
“myQA® iON provides a high level of automation and an easy overview of all patient QA tasks. We added some scripts to our TPS to automatically send the DICOM data to myQA iON as soon as a plan is approved. myQA iON calculates the dose and evaluates the data during the preparation work inside the OIS automatically; this speeds up our QA. When we finish prep, the QA is ready. The Monte Carlo algorithm provides high specificity and sensitivity to capture real clinical errors. myQA iON's accuracy and performance give us high confidence in our patient QA processes. With the log file analysis, we can track the given dose of the accelerator. This happens automatically in the background.” Dr. Stephan Dröge, Chief Medical Physicist, Lung Clinic Hemer, Germany
Testimonial
“The software environment shows all the patient QA tasks and workflow steps in one interface, which makes our lives much easier. The automation of the workflow saves me a lot of time and speeds up patient QA considerably, yet still provides comprehensive analysis and supreme Monte Carlo dose accuracy. The myQA iON software allows for full automation but I have the freedom to maintain control of the functionality.” Lourens Strauss, Medical Physicist, University of the Free State, Bloemfontain, South Africa.
