Product catalog summary
Overview
The document describes the QUASAR™ Penta-Guide Phantom, a device used for daily testing of linac-mounted image-guidance systems to ensure accuracy in radiotherapy. The testing is integrated into daily equipment warm-up procedures, minimizing additional time requirements.

Specifications
The phantom includes low-density rings and hollow spheres to reduce imaging artifacts and ensure isocenter alignment. It supports 3D Cone Beam Registration, kV and MV System Coincidence, kV and MV Projection Images, and Laser and Light Field Coincidence. The device is a 16 cm cube weighing 5 kg with an accuracy of 1/4 mm.

Key Features
  • Enables daily testing for imaging targeting accuracy.
  • Includes free image analysis software for CBCT QA testing.
  • Simple Pass/Fail criteria with a typical tolerance of +/- 2 mm in x, y, and z directions.
  • Does not interfere with patient treatment time.

Pass/Fail Criteria
Tests have simple pass/fail criteria, with recommended tolerances of +/- 2 mm. Displacements can be tracked over time for trend analysis using an Excel spreadsheet or exported to a record and verify system.

Image Quality Analysis Software
The QUASAR™ Penta-Guide QA Software automates image analysis, trending, and reporting for 3D CBCT and kV-MV projection images.

Optional Accessories
  • QUASAR™ Penta-Guide Tilt Plate for verifying image-guided shifts for Six Degrees of Freedom Couches.
  • QUASAR™ Hood for confirming alignment with CBCT and OBI.

Ordering Information
The package includes one phantom, software (Lite), and a user’s guide. Optional accessories are available for enhanced functionality.

Modus QA - Product Data Sheet - Penta-Guide-1

Perform true spatial alignment and coincidence tests on IGRT systems The QUASAR™ Penta-Guide Phantom contains lowdensity rings and hollow spheres designed to minimize imaging artifacts. These unique visualization features provide quick confirmation of the phantom set-up before investing time in the QA procedure. They also serve to ensure isocenter alignment in accordance with accepted radiotherapy tolerances using 2D/2D and 3D/3D match. Enables daily testing to ensure on-board imaging targeting accuracy Contains low-density rings and hollow spheres to minimize high-density artifacts Includes FREE image analysis software to simplify CBCT QA testing Apply simple Pass / Fail acceptance criteria Testing does not infringe upon patient treatment time Light field alignment 4x4; 10x10; 12x12 16 cm cube -5kg 1/4 mm accuracy Carried out by a therapist every morning, testing takes little or no extra time and can be completed during normal daily equipment warm-up procedures. The phantom ensures the accuracy of linac-mounted imageguidance systems, including cone beam CT (CBCT), x-ray volumetric imaging (XVI) and on-board imaging (OBI), by enabling daily testing for: 3D Cone Beam Registration and MV System Coincidence kV and MV Projection Images kV Laser and Light Field Coincidence Weekly Remote Table
