Epiqa

Complete EPID dosimetry

Epiqa^TM is a program that allows to convert a dosimetric image acquired by an EPID into a dose map and to compare the dose map with a reference dose distribution. It is possible to utilize Epiqa for a verification of static as well as intensity modulated fields, including RapidArc^® fields.

The portal dosimetry image conversion to dose map is based on the GLAaS algorithm as described in Nicolini G. et al: GLAaS – an absolute dose calibration algorithm for an amorphous silicon portal imager. Aplications to IMRT verification. Med Phys 2006; 33: 2839-2851

Epiqa benefits

• resolution comparable to film dosimetry
• no phantom and no build-up needed
• very good long term stability
• independent of TPS
• calibration based on data measured by user
• independent MU calculation tool

• supports FFF beams portal dosimetry
