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 |
