Purpose: To investigate the feasibility and efficiency of electronic portal imaging device for dosimetric verification of intensity-modulated radiation therapy.Methods: 10 patients treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy were verified using the electronic portal imaging device of aS 1000from Varian and MatriXX from IBA.The gamma pass rate and time needed was recorded and compared.Results: The gamma pass rate at 3%/3 mm was 95.82% (94.77%-96.86%) and 99.08% (98.72%-99.45%)with aS1000 and MatriXX.The average time needed for dosimetric verification with aS1000 and MatriXX was 12.7 minutes and 47.8 minutes, respectively.Conclusions: The electronic portal imaging device of aS1000 has the potential as a tool for IMRT dosimetric verification.It is more convenient and efficient than MatriXX.
