520 |a In the Monte Carlo-based treatment planning system (TPS) Monaco, transmission probability filters (TPF) are utilized to describe the transmission through the multi leaf collimator (MLC). By having knowledge of the TPF parameters for various photon beam energies, adjusting the MLC transmission parameters becomes easier, enhancing the accuracy of the Monte Carlo algorithm in achieving a dose distribution that closely aligns with the irradiated dose at the Versa HD linear accelerator (linac). The objective of this study was to determine the TPF parameters for 6MV, 10MV, 6MV flattening filter free (FFF) and 10MV FFF for a Versa HD linac equipped with Agility MLC. The TPF parameters were adjusted using point dose measurements and vendor-provided fields specifically designed to fine-tune the MLC. After adjusting the TPF parameters, a gamma passing rate (GPR) analysis was conducted on 25 treatment plans to ensure that the Monte Carlo model, with the updated TPF parameters, accurately matched the actual linac delivery. The TPF values ranged from 0.0018 to 0.0032 for leaf transmission and 1.15 to 1.25 for Leaf Tip leakage across the different energies. The average GPR ranged from 97.8% for 10MV FFF to 98.5% for 6MV photon energies. Additionally, the TPF parameters for 6MV obtained in this study were consistent with previously published TPF values for 6MV photon energy. Hence, it was concluded that optimizing the TPF does not need to be performed for every individual Versa HD linac with Agility MLC. Instead, the published parameters can be applied to other Versa HD linacs to enhance clinical accuracy. In conclusion, this study determined the TPF parameters for 6MV and previously unpublished photon energies 10MV, 6MV FFF and 10MV FFF. These parameters can be easily transferred to other facilities, resulting in improved agreement between the dose distribution from the TPS and the linac.
