Hi James,

We have two leeds image. One is good (taken in March) and the other one is bad (April). We wonder why it could not detect the phantom…

Attached are the images, pdf report, code and error message.

Thank you for your comments.

regards,
LipTeck

The bad one has error message during the analysis pylinac v 3.10.0:

Hi all,

May I know whether any other Elekta user having this problem?

Hi,

I am not an Elekta user but I think the problem might be your ssd. In your code you use an ssd of 1600 which seems to be too large.
The DICOM Tag for the RTImageSID is only 1536, so your phantom should sit somewhere closer to the source than that.

When I run the analysis with an ssd of 1500 I get results. They do not seem perfect (hf MTF not dropping monotonically) but at least you would get results.

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for highlighting that the DICOM RT Image SID was at 1536. With 1536, I am able to get results.

Thanks again!
