QA for LGK Perfexion™
Perfexion™: Follow NRC licensing
guidelines (10
(10 CFR 35.1000)
Basic Tests and Measurements:
1) Coincidence of the mechanical isocenter of the patient-positioning
system (PPS) with the radiation-focal point (RFP)
2) Agreement of measured beam profiles with Leksell GammaPlan
calculations for all collimator sizes in the XY, YZ and XZ planes
3) Measurement of the absolute dose-rate calibration for largest
collimator
4) Confirmation of the relative output factors (ROFs
(ROFs)) for smaller
collimators.

Coincidence of PPS and RFP for
Perfexion™
Perfexion™
• No helmets or microswitches to check
• Collimator settings (4, 8 and 16) are independent
• Therefore, we must check the coincidence of the
PPS and RFP for each collimator
• Elekta uses:
• Master Diode Tool
• New Film Holder Tool
• We use:
• Diode Test Tool (4-mm collimator only)
• New or old Film Holder

Film Holders
New Model
Old Model
Dosimetry
adapter
More precise than old-style film holder because:
1) Uses the same frame adapter that is used for
patient treatments (not shown above) which
is machined to very high tolerance
2) Has larger film compartment – easier to
interpret 16-mm films
1) Requires special dosimetry adapter, which
is not machined to the same high tolerances
as the patient frame adapter
2) Provides QA for RFP reproducibility, but
does not provide QA for patient setup, since
patient adapter is not employed

EBT GAFCHROMIC Film
• Manufactured by International Specialty
Products (ISP, Wayne, NJ)
• Excellent white paper available at the
manufacturer’s website:
http://online1.ispcorp.com/_layouts/Gafchromic/index.html
• Main advantage over earlier GAFCHROMIC
films for LGK dosimetry: More sensitive to
lower radiation doses: EBT films can measure
doses in the range of 0.01Gy to 8 Gy
• Low energy dependence (<5% between MeV
and keV photons)
• Film density growth complete within < 2 hrs
9
3
Basic Requirements for EBT
Film Analysis
Peak absorbance of EBT film is 636 nm, ⇒ response
enhanced by measurement with red light (match absorbance
of film with spectral response of scanner)
• Flatbed scanners:
– Epson and Microtek scanners are designed to
scan color film
– According to the ISP white paper, Epson scanners
produce the optimum results with EBT films
10
Basic Requirements for EBT
Film Analysis
• Software
– ImageJ: Available for free download at the
website: http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/
– Microsoft Excel
– More sophisticated software can be
employed
11
EBT Film Handling
• Must keep track of film orientation: Before cutting
film into appropriate size pieces, number the same
corner on each sub-section of film:
When analyzing films with flatbed
scanner, the amount of scattered light
depends on the orientation of the active
particles in the film, which depends on
the direction in which the film was
coated.

Film coating
for EBT film is
parallel to the
short edge of
film
• For RFP – PPS coincidence measurements, cut film
to fit holder
• For Profile and ROF measurements cut film into
pieces between about 6.0 cm and 6.5 cm
12
4
EBT Film Handling (continued)
• Place film in holder such that the marked
corner is in the same place for all films
• When scanning, place films in the same area of
the flatbed scanner with the marked corner of
the film in the same place
• Avoid fingerprints and mechanical stress
• Avoid long exposures to daylight
13
Recommended Procedures for GK
EBT Film Measurements
• To obtain background subtraction for each
piece of cut film, pre-scan each film on flatbed
scanner prior to irradiation.
• Scanning parameters:
– Scan as “positive film”
– Use either 200 or 400 dpi to obtain resolution of
the order of 0.1 mm (0.127 mm for 200 dpi and
0.064 mm for 400 dpi)
– 48-bit color
– Save as PNG files (or equivalent lossless format)
14
RFP - PPS Coincidence Measurements
• Not necessary to convert readings to absolute dose
(i.e., calibration curve not required), since we are only
looking at symmetry about the pin-point.
• If using ImageJ software to analyze films
– Extract red channel (Image  color  RGB split)
– Invert image (Edit  Invert) (so that profile will be
positive - personal preference)
– Using line drawing tool, draw line through center of
scan
– Extract Profile (Analyze  Plot Profile)
– List Profile Data, select it and copy to Excel (or
other) worksheet
• Subtract background

Coincidence of RFP and PPS: Film
Analysis with ImageJ Software
• Identify channel containing pin point
• By definition, this corresponds to X, Y or Z = 100 in LGK
coordinate system
• Assign LGK coordinates to other channels by the
formula:
LGK Coord =
100 " (C100 " C) # P
Where,
C 100 = the channel that contains the pin point
C = the channel in question

Blocked source position

collimators
Sources move to
the blocked
position at the
initiation of a
treatment and
between shots.
Therefore, to
achieve a 16-mm
shot, the sources
must pass over
the 4-mm
collimator, and
thereby deliver a
so-called “transit
dose.”

Transit Dose for 16-mm Collimator
• One way to measure 16-mm transit dose is to deliver the
same prescribed dose via two treatment plans to
isocenter in the spherical phantom, one plan consisting
of a single 16-mm shot, and the second plan consisting
of four 16-mm shots. The transit dose is then:
difference in measured dose
between the two runs
Transit Dose =
D4 ! D1
3
Gy/(16-mm shot)
difference in the number of times
the source travels back and forth
over the 4-mm collimator
30
10
Transit Dose for 16-mm Collimator
• Using ion-chamber measurements as
described on previous slide, transit
dose for 16-mm collimator = 0.03
Gy/shot for WHHS Perfexion™ in July
2008
• Note that the transit dose changes as a
function of time as the Co-60 sources
decay.
31
Determination of Transit Dose by Film

Irradiate 1st film with 1 shot, dose = 5 Gy
Irradiate 2nd film with 18 shots, dose = 5 Gy

Transit dose = (D18 - D1 )/17
Results (July 2008):

Specifications and Frequency for
Beam Profile measurements
Specification:
According to Elekta: Measured and LGP values for
FWHM should be within ± 1 mm of each other
Frequency:
Beam profiles should be measured upon acceptance
of the GK unit and annually thereafter
37
Results from last Annual QA:
• All FWHM were between ± 0.1 mm and
± 0.4 mm of Leksell GammaPlan
38
16-mm Dose Rate Measurement
• Currently no official calibration protocol
specific to the LGK
• Charges of AAPM Task Group 178:
– Suggest a protocol for calibration with
ionization chambers calibrated at an ADCL
that can be used with all Gamma
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (GSR) devices
– Work with the working group on dosimetry
calibration protocol for beams that are not
compliant with TG-51
39
13
16-mm Dose Rate Measurement
Performed in spherical phantom
Calibration Protocols:
• TG-21: Ion chamber calibrated 60Co in-air
– Can be used for various phantom materials
– Can be used for various geometrical setups
• TG-51: Ion chamber calibrated for 60Co in water.
– Designed to facilitate linear accelerator calibration and
QA
– phantom must be water,
– 10 cm × 10 cm field size

LGK Dose Rate Measurement:
Some Recent Publications
• R Drzymala R Wood, J Levy: Calibration of
the Gamma Knife using a new phantom
following AAPM TG51 and TG21 protocols,
Med. Phys. 35:514-521;2008
– Compared the 2 protocols in the Elekta old-style
spherical phantom and in a newly designed water
phantom
– TG-51 in water phantom results were 1.4% lower
than TG-21 in polystyrene phantom

LGK Dose Rate Measurement:
Some Recent Publications
• S Griffin Meltsner and LA DeWerd: Air

– Proposes an air-kerma-based dosimetry protocol
using either an in-air or in-acrylic phantom
measurement
– Modified version of TG-21 specific to LGK
calibration geometry
– With new protocol, measured dose rates were
between 1.5% and 2.9% higher than those used
clinically by at 7 LGK sites (Models B and C)
42
14
16-mm Dose Rate Measurement: Practical
Issues: Choice of new or old-style phantom
Old-style phantom requires
dosimetry adapter
Bhatnagar, et al. (Med Phys
36:1208-1211;2009):
The dosimetry adapter
attenuates some beams in
the lateral (3 and 7) sectors
of the Perfexion™ unit,
causing the overall 16-mm
dose rate to be
underestimated by
approximately 1%.
43
Choice of phantom
New spherical phantom
• Does not require
dosimetry adapter
• Attaches to patient
adapter
Patient Frame
Adapter
– More precise
– Provides better
check of entire
system
44
16-mm Dose Rate Measurement:
Practical Issues
• Checking measured dose rate: compare
results to
– TLD: either in-house or outside service (e.g.,
RPC SRS phantom)
– EBT GafChromic

• Relative output
factor for Gamma
Knife is defined as:

(100 ,100 ,100 )
i.e., ROF = dose rate of
collimator C relative to 16mm collimator, where both
are measured at isocenter

50
Beam Geometry:
There are, therefore, 15 distinct beam geometries: 5 rings
multiplied by 3 beam-on positions per ring.
This is in contrast to previous LGK designs for which all of
the beam channels were identical, and there was only one
type of beam.
Each of the 15 beam types has a different:
1) Virtual source-to-isocenter distance (SAD)
2) Output factor
Elekta determined these values by fitting a beam model to
Monte Carlo generated data.

Relative Output Factor for Each Collimator Size
• We cannot measure the 15 ROFs individually
• The ROF for the 8- and 4-mm collimators relative to the
16-mm collimator is determined from the equation:
5
" n ! OF (c )
i
ROF (c ) =
i
,ni = ( 48,32,40,32,40)
i =1
5
" n ! OF (c = 16mm)

i =1
Where the sum is taken over all 5 rings
ni represents the number of sources in each ring
ROF(8mm) = 0.924
ROF(4mm) = 0.805
53
Two Ways to Determine ROF
Measure dose, Dc, delivered by each
collimator at (100, 100, 100) for:
• A given treatment time:
ROFc = Dc/D16
• The same prescription dose:
ROFc =
ROFc "

Tc is the irradiation time for

ROF Meas:
Meas: EBT Film and Fixed Dose
 Cut and mark Films
 Scan un-irradiated films to obtain background correction
 Irradiate 2 films at the 3 dose levels, e.g., 4.5, 5.0 and 5.5 Gy for 16 collimator to
obtain mini-calibration curve (choose either axial, coronal or sagittal plane). It is
reasonable to assume that the calibration curve is piece-wise linear between
measured points (6 films)
 Irradiate 2 films the 4- and 8-mm collimators to a dose in the middle of the minicalibration range in the same plane as calibration films (4 films)
 “Process” films with ImageJ: extract red channel, invert intensity values, subtract
background
56
 Sample intensity values in center of films, convert to dose, calculate ROF
My Results: Average of 7 sets of ROF
Measurements
8-mm Collimator: 0.888 ± 0.012 (∼3.9% lower than Elekta)
4-mm Collimator: 0.792 ± 0.007 (∼2.5% lower than Elekta)
Used constant time for 3 sets of measurements, constant
dose for 4 sets
Used different measurement planes (axial, coronal or
sagittal)
Did not change values in LGP

What order of magnitude error in film
reading causes a 4% error in dose?
From calibration curve on previous slide:
5 Gy ⇒ a reading of 120 counts
4.8 Gy ⇒ a reading of 118.6 counts
∴ A difference of only 1.4 counts results
in a 4% dose discrepancy

Summary
• The AAPM is working towards a calibration
protocol for GSR units based on ADCL
calibrated ionization chambers
• PPS/RFP coincidence and beam profile
measurements are facilitated by using EBT
GAFCHROMIC film
• ROF measurements remain the most
challenging aspect of QA for GSR devices
