Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the conventional quality control result of Leksell Icon Gamma Knife cone-beam CT and evaluate long-term stability of cone-bem CT.Methods:QA TOOL Plus was used to verify the accuracy of cone-beam CT. The phantom Catphan 503 was scanned, and the image spatial resolution, contrast to noise ratio and homogeneity were analyzed.Results:The maximum deviation in image volume of cone-beam CT was 0.09-0.17 mm, which passed the accuracy test. At the scanning patterns with CT dose index of 2.5 and 6.3 mGy, the spatial resolution was very stable at 7 and 8 lp/cm respectively. The contrast noise ratio and uniformity meet the reference requirements.Conclusions:The conventional quality control results of Leksell Icon Gamma Knife cone-beam CT are stable in 12 months. In addition to referring to the manufacturer′s baseline value, the unified analysis and evaluation standard for Gamma Knife need to be further improved for the quality control of cone-beam CT.
