1. Collision interlock-- Alarm sound & All motions disabled

Location Pass Fail Comments

Arms
Detector

Rotate gadry to 90 degree so kv is at floor

Measure distance to grid&shift at two different detector distance

2. KVDetector Position and Reproduciblity

Measure SSD to detector shift at two different detector distance

Detector Position SSD (cm) Diff or Shift (<0.2cm)
Vertica Long Lat Expected measured Diff (<0.2cm) Sup/inf Rt/Lt

3. KV Source Position and Reproduciblity

Place KVS at 100,0,0

Rotate gandry to 270 so KVS is at floor
Measure from source face plate to isocentre

Detector Position Distance (cm) Diff or Shift (<0.2cm)

Vertica Long Lat Expected measured Diff (<0.2cm)

4. Imager Alignment & Scaling

Scaling
Setup blade calibration plate on couch top @ 100cm SSD
Level gantry to 90degree so KV detector is at floor
Place KV source at 100,0,0 & detector at 50,0,0
In OBI maintenance take an image using single pulse full resolution
Measure distance between 10X10 pair of lines in X & Y direction

Imager Alignment
Using image from above zoom out until the centre circle on the plate is visible
Select area histogram icon and select show details
Change Hor Pos to 1024 & Vert Pos to 768
Drag upper left hand corner of the ROI box until it intersects the centre of the circle
Record the Hor Pos & Vert Pos of the centre pixel position
Center pixel position Pass/fail
Expected Measured Diff. (<10pixels)
Horizontal post 1024
Vertical post 768

5. OBI Imaging & Treatment Isocenter Coincidence

Place isocenter cube tool on couch top at isocenter using laser and crosshairs
Place KV source at 100,0,0 & detector at 50,0,0
In OBI maintanance take an images at four cardinal angles
At each angle measure difference between center of steel ball & digital graticule

6. Image Quality (LEEDS Test Tool)

High Contrast Resolution

Place gandry to 90 degree so KV detector is at floor

Remove couch from beam path & remove any OBI filter
Place KV source at 100,0,0 & detector at 50,0,0
Place leeds test tool onn diagonal on detector cover
Image and window & level to resolve greatest lp/mm
technique SinglePulseFull Resolution
KVP 50 mA 50 ms 6.0

Low Contrast Resolution

Use setup from above

Attach 1mm cu filter to kv source faceplate
Image and window & level to resolve lowest contrast disc
Turn off lights & view from a distance
technique SinglePulseFull Resolution
KVP 85 mA 50.0 ms 4.0
