1 A Patient QA survey among 39 experienced medical physicists at Proton Therapy centers determined an average 80% time saving with myQA iON compared to traditional measurement-based Patient QA. The expected time saving at an individual site may vary depending on the application mix of log-file QA vs. measurements, the patient case distribution, and QA protocols.
- myQA iON significantly reduces the time needed to complete Patient QA: Task-based workflow, automation, and the latest web-based software technologies increase QA efficiency while ensuring patient treatment safety.
- myQA iON uniquely integrates 3 advanced Patient QA verification tools into 1 environment – enabling fast, accurate, and optimal treatment delivery – based on each individual case.
- myQA iON delivers treatment safety fraction by fraction, including the last fraction, which can now be verified for the first time by utilizing the fractional treatment delivery logs.
