Review of studies on sensitivity and specificity of each EPID-based PSQA system to detect errors.

System Author Tests performed Results
Portal Dosimetry Epidose Bailey et al. 2012 1 patient plan, global dose TPS beam model commissioning error Portal Dosimetry not sensitive to 5% MU/cGy error while Epidose was sensitive
Dosimetry Check (RadCalc EPID) Wu et al. 2012 10 patient plans with MLC and gantry offset errors PTV result sensitive to MLC, V10% sensitive to gantry
Epiqa Fredh et al. 2013 4 patient plans with introduced MU, MLC, and collimator errors 100% detected by Epiqa, better than other detectors (Delta4, Octavius, Compass)
Epiqa Vieillevigne et al. 2015 4 patient plans with introduced MLC, collimator, gantry, couch errors Performance similar to other detectors (ArcCheck, PTW 794)
PerFRACTION Portal Dosimetry Bresciani et al. 2018 1 patient plan with introduced MU, MLC errors 3D (log file based) method compared to Portal Dosimetry. Similar sensitivity, higher specificity
