Evaluation of Elekta Agility multi-leaf collimator performance using statistical process control tools.

CONCLUSIONS: The Elekta Agility MLC model was found to perform with high stability, as evidenced by the tight control limits. The in-specification durations support the current recommendation of monthly MLC QC tests with a ±1 mm tolerance. Future work is on-going to determine if performance can be optimized further using high-frequency QC test results to drive recalibration frequency.
