Automated One-Click Data Alignment

Auto-Alignment of your Measured Dataset with your Reference
Speed up Patient QA workflow and provide consistent results during the measurement session:

Automated alignment as default, manual alignment supported if necessary
Shifts are reported for the aligned dose maps along central axis
Shifts from automatic or manual alignment can be applied to all the data in the measurements folder

TG-218 Reference Dose Gamma Calculation

AAPM TG-218 Report advises to use for the gamma analysis the global normalization with reference dose selection as better approach, compared to the maximum dose.

myQA Patients provides reference dose gamma calculation formalism.
For gamma analysis, select the 90% from the maximum dose, or any other value in Gy or %.

Film Dosimetry Plug-Ins in myQA Patients

Film dosimetry provides highest resolution without angular dependence and is therefore essential for SBRT and SRS validation & verification! myQA Patients supports Single- and Multichannel Film Dosimetry.

The Single Channel film dosimetry Film Plug-In is included in myQA Patients and provides the scanner calibration procedure (Analog to Digital Conversion to Optical Density), the film calibration (Analog to Digital Conversion to Dose) as well as a scanner artifacts correction and lateral correction.

The Multi Channel film dosimetry Film Plug-In is optionally available for myQA Patients.
The Multichannel option eliminates artifacts of films and scanners, enabling highest verification accuracy for IMRT, VMAT and SBRT/SRS cases, and support of high doses.

The solution is based on the Mayer‘s Algorithm (R. Mayer et al. Med. Phys. 39 (2012) 2147).

IBA Dosimetry myQA Patients testimonial Silvana Infantino

myQA Patients for film analysis

Silvana Infantino
Medical Physicist / Jolimont Hospital, Belgium

“I used the myQA Patients film verification plugin and found it user friendly and easy to use. The analysis can be done smoothly including easy adjustments and intuitive data file tree to sort your data and results in a clear structure. The myQA film panel has a wide range of various data analysis options and associated statistics for research and clinical use. The calculation time is quite satisfactory. Overall, I really recommend myQA!”

myQA Patients

Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Sascha Schwarzer
Medical Physics Expert

"We use myQA Patients in all our three RT departments that are located in different cities in central Germany. We can now save all our patient QA data from all departments on the myQA central database, allowing us to keep a complete and instant overview of the QA status of all our patients. We also like the easy workflow of myQA making our Patient QA seamlessly efficient."
