Objective:To give the test in cases of changing the conditions of measurement and reference value, compare the test results, and detect the capacity of QuickCheck, so as to offer reference for the daily morning check of accelerator and the evaluation of test results. Methods:Change the output dose, field size, SSD, angle of collimator and gantry angle of the accelerator, and then evaluate QuickCheck’s capacity of monitoring accelerator accordingly. Compare the field parameters measured by QuickCheck with the data from the 3D water tank. Results:When the output dose was 1 cGy higher than the reference value or 6 cGy lower than it, the field size expanded or contracted more than 2 cm simutaneouly, SSD was 2 cm higher or 1 cm lower than reference value, the collimator rotated more than 2 °, the gantry angle rotated more than 6 °, and then the test results of QuickCheck surpassed threshold. Comparing the measuring results of QuickCheck with 3D water tank, the difference between the flatness of the two was 3.84%, symmetry (G/T) 0.67%, symmetry (L/R) 0.47%and dose rate 1.2 MU/min. Conclusion:QuickCheck is rather accurate in testing the output dose, field size, angle of collimator, flatness, symmetry and dose rate, so it could meet the requirement of accelerator’s daily QA. However, its capability is relatively poor on examining SSD and the deviation of gantry angle.

In order to guarantee the safety and accuracy of the whole treating process as well as better link up of each section during the treatment, we did research in order to establish a project concerning the process quality control (PQC) of treating liver cancer with CyberKnife. From the safety and accuracy point of view, we divided the whole process of treating liver cancer with CyberKnife into ten links, i.e. the registration of patients' information, the im plantation of fiducial markers, fixation of body posture, CT localization, target delineation, design of the treatment plan, quality assurance in physics, implementation of the treatment plan, inspection on the correctness and data archiving. We analyzed the possible mistakes in each link and the consequences brought by them. To smoothly connect all the links, a special part "Attention" was added between every two links. Various wrong operations which may influence the safety and accuracy of treatment were illustrated, and the consequences brought by them were also ex plained. The "Attention" part among links offers important information for the next step, and gives us reminding and warnings. The project of quality control covers all the important links when treating liver cancer with Cy berKnife. It offers regulations, reminding and warning for us so that the safety and accuracy of treatment can be guaranteed, and the work of all staff could be closely connected.
