Advanced Proton Therapy PBS QA: More Efficiency & Accuracy
Watch Simon Marcelis (Product Manager IBA Dosimetry for PT Dosimetry) speaking during PTCOG. Learn how IBA Dosimetry is reducing PBS Daily QA times using the Sphinx Phantom in Proton Therapy.
Combine with Lynx PT scintillation detector
and myQA Sphinx plug-in
Sphinx can be securely positioned on the couch for complete daily QA in one single setup. It can be mounted with Lynx, the high-resolution scintillator based sensor.

Zeitschrift Für Medizinische Physik 28, no. 4 (December 1, 2018): 310–17.
Conclusion
The proposed combination of the Lynx® + Sphinx® systems appear to be suitable as a device for daily QA of proton range for PBS proton therapy, even under extreme, and very unlikely, set-up and beam delivery uncertainties.

Conclusion
The use of novel QA devices such as the Sphinx in conjunction with the Lynx, PPC05 ion chamber, HexaCheck/MIMI phantoms, and myQA software was shown to provide a comprehensive and efficient method for performing daily QA of a number of system parameters for a modern proton PBS‐dedicated treatment delivery unit.
