摘　　要：目的 建立多叶准直器运动状态下叶片到位精度的检测方法.方法 设计多叶准直器测量序列,被测叶片每扫过1 cm的距离设置0.1 ～1 mm之间的叶片位置误差,利用二维电离室矩阵测量其运动轨迹上的吸收剂量,得出不同剂量率（100、300和600 MU/min）时,设置的位置误差与吸收剂量直线斜率之间的对应关系曲线,以此作为叶片位置校准曲线.进行日常检测时,通过多叶准直器叶片运动形成射野y方向的剂量曲线图得到有误差的叶片,依据射野x方向吸收剂量直线的斜率,与叶片位置校准曲线进行比较,得到检测叶片的实际位置误差.结果 通过y方向的剂量曲线图,可找出位置误差≥0.2 mm/cm的叶片.在一定的剂量率下,叶片位置校准曲线呈线性变化趋势.输出剂量率为600 MU/min时,叶片的位置误差分布直观清晰,可快速对叶片到位精度情况做定性分析.位置误差为0.1 mm/cm的叶片,吸收剂量直线斜率变化为0.74％,检测误差与引入误差的差别≤0.1 mm.结论 使用二维电离室矩阵检测多叶准直器运动状态下叶片到位精度的方法简便可靠,能满足常规检测的需要,为调强适形放射治疗质量控制体系的建立提供技术支持.Objective To establish a new method to analyze the position accuracy of multileaf collimator （MLC） in the dynamic mode.Methods The MLC test sequence was created in a field,where intentional leaf positional errors ranging from 0.1 to 1 mm per centimeter were introduced.In order to establish the relationship between the ion chamber readings and leaf position,whose slope indicated the leaf position error per centimeter,a two-dimensional ion chamber array was used to measure absorbed dose while leaves were moving at dose rates of 100,300 and 600 MU/min,respectively.For routine test,leaf position error was easily found via dose profile in y direction of the field created by dynamic leaves,where the position error could be quantitatively calculated as the slope of absorbed dose line of x direction of the same field.Results The error of 0.2 mm or more per centimeter was obviously shown through y dose profile.The calibration curve was linear at different dose rates.At 600 MU/min,a 0.1 mm leaf position error corresponded to a slope variation of 0.74%,and the differences between the tested errors and the introduced errors were within 0.1 mm.Conclusions The simple and reliable method is helpful to establish the intensity modulated radiation therapy （IMRT） quality control （QC） system.
