Monthly QA
Streamlined and automated solutions for the monthly tests required by TG-142: from imaging and mechanical checks to precise MLC and beam control
With PIPSpro software, QA CrossChecker, and the QA Pilot cloud platform, ABGT ensures efficient, reproducible, and fully documented QA — audit-ready and integrated into your clinical workflow.
PIPSpro Software
PIPSpro software is an intuitive platform that allows QC to be performed in accordance with TG-142 specifications, providing a quantitative and comprehensive analysis of LINAC and imaging systems. It also includes a MLC leaf speed module.
Â
MV portal imaging tests (EPID), Planar kV imaging, and CBCT (kV and MV)
Spatial resolution, contrast, uniformity, and noise (QC-3 and QC-kV phantoms).
Dimensioning (FC-2 phantom).
Geometric distortion, spatial resolution, contrast, HU regularity, uniformity, and noise (Catphan phantom – not included)
Â
Mechanical tests
Radiation/light field coincidence, collimator position indicators (Fantoma FC-2).
Collimator, gantry, and table rotation isocentricity (Star Shot Analysis and SRS module).
Mechanical and radiation isocenter coincidence (SRS module).Â
Â
MLC Tests
Quantitative analysis of MLC speed based on log file readings.
Multiport picket fence and segmentation test (IMRT – Step and Shoot) – MLC phantom.Â
Accuracy and reproducibility of leaf position (MLC phantom).
Leaf and inter-leaf transmission tests for all energies (MLC phantom).
QA Pilot
QA Pilot is a cloud platform that provides access to QA without the need for spreadsheets or multiple programs.
TG-142 Streamlined
- Enables access and management of all QA reports in real time, in a secure and unified location, from any internet access point.
- Vendor-neutral data collection for automated integration.
- Communication with other tools related to the QC process through a single platform.
- Task scheduling, comparison of results, and report creation.
- Intuitive visualization of results—pass/fail—also allowing for more detailed analysis.
- Viewing of reports on mobile applications (iPad/iPhone) with automatic alerts in case of detection of out-of-tolerance results.
- The preparation of complete reports and trend analysis makes it possible to act before clinical impact occurs
QA CrossChecker
QA CrossChecker provides the perfect solution for beam and machine verification – without the hassle of large phantoms.Â
Coupled with powerful software, the QA CrossChecker is accurate to within 0.5% of a traditional water phantom, making it the easiest way to verify beam output.
