Impact of log file source and data frequency on accuracy of log file-based patient specific quality assurance.

ABSTRACT: Performing phantom measurements for patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) adds a significant amount of time to the adaptive radiotherapy procedure. Log file based PSQA can be used to increase the efficiency of this process. This study compared the dosimetric accuracy of high-frequency linear accelerator (Linac) log files and low-frequency log data stored in the oncology information system (OIS). Thirty patients were included, that were recently treated in the head and neck (HN), brain, and prostate region with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and an additional ten patients treated using stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with 3D-conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) technique. Log data containing a single fraction were used to calculate the dose distributions. The dosimetric d
