Description

ATLAS Versions: Base
ATLAS is available in two versions, base and full.

The base version includes the software and database necessary to perform routine beam QA. Tests supported in ATLAS basic vary based on the instrument being used.

ATLAS Versions: Full
ATLAS full adds a library of tests commonly associated with mechanical, safety, and accessory checks that are not related to the tests performed in ATLAS basic. These tests are often performed at varying intervals, and ATLAS full will allow these tests to be scheduled and recorded in the database.

Examples of tests in ATLAS full are:

Mechanical:

Gantry/collimator angle indicators and accuracy (0, 90, 180, 270)
Field Size Indicators (5x5, 10x10, 20x20, 30x30)
Drop Couch 10cm & read Couch Vertical
Treatment couch position indicators
Latching of wedges, blocking tray
Wedge, electron, cone interlocks
Field Light Check 20 x 20 field
Cross hair centering
Applicator Position
Field light intensity
ODI Front pointer
Couch Vertical
Wedge position
Jaw symmetry
Tray Position

Safety:

Warning Lights/Beam On
Video Monitor
Intercom
In-Room Intercom
Door Interlock
Emergency Off
Water Temperature
Backup Counter
Beam Off/Reset
Key Interlock
A/V Right System
A/V Left System

Accessory:

Laser Alignment Tests
    o Overhead
    o Sagittal
    o Right Wall
    o Left Wall
R/V System
o Backup tape changed out

Using ATLAS full, users may also create custom defined tests that are not included in the standard test library.
