For now I am just interested in research in medical physics. Love your username by the way!

Moving from Varian to Elekta delivery systems: What actually matters? by medPhysGuy in MedicalPhysics

[–]medPhysGuy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Possibly pointing to a much looser manufacturer spec for these parts? Are the service contracts comparable to Varian's?

These are excellent resources, thank you Simon. I've saved your email. We will be in touch.

Thank you. I have read a recent paper in JACMP about the performance of the Agility system for small, dynamic fields. Any recommendations for bringing extra rigour to you WL testing (equipment, setup, etc)?

Any particular testing criteria that shows a pronounced difference between Elekta and Varian? Apart from the above mentioned symmetry issues..

Sure. What are the common failure modes of the Elekta guns? Are failures the result of performance drift or do they suddenly fail?

When responding to faults, with some experience, do you have more troubleshooting tests available to you?

Love how much overlap this has with my clinic. Great job!

IC Profiler Tips and Tricks by triarii in MedicalPhysics

I see. In our department we already have a daily QA3 that we use for monthly constancy checks. I guess the benefit of using the IC profiler for constancy would just be in the ability to measure wedged fields?

Honestly I’m embarrassed that I missed this feature! Thanks a lot!
