This study utilized a new type of detector, the CROSS II (Liverage Biomedical Inc., Taiwan), to perform a beam quality assurance (QA) procedure on a Sumitomo (Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Inc., Japan) pencil beam linear scanning proton therapy machine. The Cross II can monitor proton Pristine Bragg peak range, beam width, beam size, beam position, and scanning speed. All the data presented here were collected during a time span of over one year. The accuracy of the QA program could be verified if all the QA items were tested stably and within the programmed tolerances. Our results showed that the proton range remained within the ± 2 mm tolerance, with the majority of measurements within ± 0.5 mm, ± 2 mm for spot size, 1.5 mm for spot position, and ± 2% for scanning speed. We found that the CROSS II detector is in high precise and steady state with highly efficient. Our proton therapy system was also proven to be in an accurate and reliable condition according to our QA results.
