Contouring dose with pinpoint, multidimensional accuracy, targeting a tumor without damaging surrounding tissue and destroying a tumor in one radiation session is still a lofty goal in radiation therapy, and rarely attainable. For years, radiation oncologists and physicists have longed for technology to match their need for imaging and radiation delivery methods that hit all of these objectives.
TQA, or Tomo Quality Assurance, from TomoTherapy Inc. is reportedly the first integrated, machine-specific quality assurance (QA) solution to be offered by a radiation therapy vendor. The TQA application streamlines the collection — and simplifies the review — of data used to monitor radiation therapy equipment and procedures. All TQA data can be exported for third-party validation.
