Dosimetric verification of prowess panter treatment planning system and the evaluation of the clinical acceptance

OBJECTIVES: In this study, the aim was to perform quality control of the Prowess Panther treatment planning system by comparing with the measurement data. METHODS: For dosimetric measurements, Iba brand cc13 and FC-65P 0.6cc model (Scanditronix, Wellh fer, Germany), the cylindrical ion chambers, and Iba brand dose1 electrometer model, RW3 solid water phantom and RFA-300 water phantom, were used. Measurements were performed with Elekta Synergy linear accelerator. RFA-300 Wellh fer profile measurements were taken using a water phantom in the wedge and open field depth dose, off-axis ratio, and different x, y and diagonal directions. Output measurements were performed with RW3 solid water. RESULTS: Open and wedge field percentage depth dose (PDD) and profiles of the treatment planning system were compared with measurements at Dmax, 5 cm, 10 cm, and 15 cm depths. The results were within the boundaries of acceptable BJR and found less than 3%. CONCLUSION: Based on the quality control results, the Prowess Panther v5.01 Planning System was within the boundaries of acceptable accuracy in dosimetry.
