The IBA myQA® SRS high-resolution solid-state detector was evaluated in the context of robotic radiosurgery delivered using CyberKnife®. The performance was investigated for periodic machine delivery quality assurance (DQA) and patient-specific treatment verification. myQA® SRS is a 140 × 120 mm CMOS matrix with 400 µm resolution, allocated in a cylindrical ABS phantom topped by a hemispheric cap. Evaluations included: periodic DQA tests, angular response, dose-rate dependence and Iris variable aperture collimator field size measurements. For patient-specific QA various intracranial targets were studied (Gamma Index, 3%/1 mm agreement criteria), taking into account also the detector’s angular response. Results for periodic DQA were in accordance with the machine commissioning data. Dose-rate dependence was confirmed, and angular response tests resulted in a signal decay >5% when beams were delivered outside a ±50° amplitude cone with respect to the vertical direction. Concerning patient-specific QA, >50° angled beams elimination led to a Gamma Index passing rates improvement ranging between +3% and +115%. IBA myQA® SRS proved to be a suitable device for many CyberKnife® constancy DQA checks, providing high-resolution real-time results. Patient-specific Gamma tests showed high passing rates once angular dependence corrections were performed, even in high complexity treatments such as those for trigeminal neuralgia targets.
