D4 and AC devices, but the former showed higher gamma passing rate values. IMRT beam and ROI QA failure highlight a higher granularity analysis of the patient specific QA never investigate in the frame of MRI-Linac.

EPID are blackbox type systems where the end user is not fully trained on the algorithms at play in the analysis. The purpose of this work is to compare a multi-year proven gamma analysis software (IBA OmniPro I´mRT (OP)) in our clinic with the Halcyon E Portal Dosimetry Application (PDA) and determine the action levels when switching between both systems. Materials and Methods For this work, we selected patients calculated using Accuros XB algorithm in Eclipse TPS (8 SBRT and 32 VMAT)). Firstly, all DQA were calculated in the same TPS, delivered with VMAT, measured using EPID and analyzed using PDA. Secondly, we exported the dose plans and EPID images, in DICOM format to OP and assessed them through 2D Gamma criteria. For both software, we used as per our clinical practice: 2%, 2mm, 10% threshold and an ROI encompassing approximately 30% of the isodose curves. To determine if there is a statistical difference between the two data sets we proceeded to evaluate if they are normally distributed, the selected test was the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test (K-S). Given the results, we applied a non parametric test: Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test (WSRT) with the following parameters: significance level 0.05, one tailed hypothesis and the null hypothesis (that the two distributions were exchangeable). Finally, we calculated the action limits for both software using the AAPM TG 218 formalism ( § 8, equation 45). Results The two distributions, using K-S, are not normal shaped (Skewness<0) and asymmetric (Kurtosis>0). The result of the evaluation, using WSRT, showed that the null hypothesis is refuted. This means that the two distributions are not similar. WSRT conclusions are strengthened by the boxplot graph (Fig.1).
