Abstrakt: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) using the single-isocenter-multiple-target (SIMT) technique by volumetric modulated arc therapy is increasingly popular for treating multiple brain metastases. However, the complex nature of SIMT SRS necessitates rigorous patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA). This study presents a multi-institutional dosimetric commissioning of a high-resolution complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) 2D detector array, the myQA SRS device for SIMT SRS PSQA. Basic dosimetric properties such as dose-rate, field-size, energy and angular dependencies were characterized for the CMOS detectors. Additionally, gamma index analyses were performed between the measured dose and the films for nine simulated and clinical plans. The results showed that the CMOS detector was dose-rate, field-size, energy and beam-angle dependent. Specific to SIMT SRS, angular dependence on gantry rotations was invariant to couch rotations but was sensitive to off-isocenter distances. With appropriate dose calibration and angular corrections, myQA SRS showed a high dosimetric correlation with films. The average gamma index pass rates were 99.9 ± 0.03% and 99.2 ± 1.1% at 3%/2 mm/10%thr(global) and 1 mm/1%/10%thr(local) criteria, respectively. The average dose difference between myQA SRS and films was 0.4 ± 1.3%. In conclusion, the CMOS 2D detector array has demonstrated its potential as a reliable tool for PSQA for SIMT SRS. The excellent dosimetric agreement with the films was consistent in multiple institutions, further validating the dosimetric accuracy and reproducibility. It provides a timely alternative to film dosimetry for commissioning and quality assurance.
