Acceptance Testing and Evaluation of the RGSC – Respiratory Gating for Scanners

Author(s) Priya Jacob

Abstract The Respiratory Gating for Scanners (RGSC) system, developed by Varian Medical Systems, is an advanced accessory designed to enhance the precision of diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy by synchronizing image acquisition with the patient’s respiratory cycle. By continuously monitoring and recording respiratory motion, RGSC provides essential data for tumor tracking, motion management, and treatment planning. The system is compatible with CT and PET-CT scanners from leading manufacturers, including Canon, GE, Philips, and Siemens, ensuring seamless integration into various clinical workflows. With an intuitive user interface and enhanced gating accuracy, RGSC plays a crucial role in improving tumor targeting, image quality, and overall treatment outcomes. This study presents our experience with acceptance testing and quality assurance (QA) of the RGSC system integrated with a GE Discovery RT Wide Bore (80 cm) CT simulator, outlining key performance evaluations and validation protocols. The findings serve as a reference for optimizing RGSC implementation in clinical practice while ensuring compliance with established motion management guidelines.
