Overview: The document provides an overview of the SPHINX system for daily Quality Assurance (QA) in Proton Beam Scanning (PBS) used in particle therapy. It highlights the system's efficiency, accuracy, and reliability in performing machine QA.
Key Benefits:- Time Efficiency: The system allows for a 20-minute gain in QA time, enabling the treatment of one additional patient per day.
- Workflow Efficiency: All measurements can be completed in less than 15 minutes with a single entry into the treatment room.
- Software Integration: The myQA software provides an intuitive and comprehensive workflow, facilitating visual pass-fail analysis and trend analysis to detect deviations early.
Accuracy and Parameters:- Comprehensive Analysis: The system checks key parameters such as four energies, spot sigma and position, output, isocenter and X-ray to beam coincidence, lasers, profile homogeneity, uniformity, and couch translation.
- High-Resolution Measurements: The Lynx sensor offers a spatial resolution of 0.5 mm, while the Sphinx provides absolute dose measurements with a high-quality reference chamber and electrometer.
System Features:- Secure Mounting: Both Sphinx and Lynx are securely mounted on the couch for complete daily QA in a single setup.
- Integrated QA: The system is used for daily, weekly, and monthly QA in both Pencil Beam Scanning and Double Scattering treatment modes.
User Testimonial: Farid Goudjil, Head of Medical Physics at the Centre de Protonthérapie d’Orsay, France, endorses the system for its efficiency and integration capabilities, noting its potential use for patient QA.
