Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Purpose: To design a novel phantom compatible with multiple imaging modalities (kV, MV and MRI) for the daily quality assurance (QA) of an MR‐guided linac. Methods: At our institution, we are in the process of installing a decoupled MR‐linac system, consisting of a 1.5T Siemens Espree MR scanner on rails that can be moved and image in the immediate proximity of a Varian TrueBeam linac. The two components are connected via a robotic patient couch. For this configuration, both MR and x‐ray based (kV, MV) imaging modalities will be available and will have to be mutually correlated to confirm the robustness of the RT ensemble. The authors modified the design of on an existing daily QA phantom that is compatible with kV radiographs, MV EPIDs and kV CBCT. New features were added to make the phantom also visible on MRI. The overall design was optimized by means of numerical simulations to remove any significant MR image‐ related artifacts due to magnetic susceptibility‐induced effects. An image software analysis tool was also developed to process the data and capture all kV/MV/MRI unique characteristics. In addition, the software provides the capability of record and track over time the performance of the tests via control charts. Results: The phantom was developed to test kV/MV/MR system coincidence, 3D CBCT and 3D MR independent and cross‐modality mutual registration, kV/MV and MR projection images, kV/MV coincidence, MR/linac laser and light field coincidence, remote table adjustments. Conclusions: A novel phantom along with an image processing software package was developed for the routine daily QA of a linac‐MR on rails radiotherapy system. D.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
