    This document summarizes the results of dose verification of helical tomotherapy IMRT treatments using an ArcCHECK device. 12 clinical IMRT treatments were analyzed using the ArcCHECK and compared to planned doses. Results found that over 92% of measurements passed gamma analysis with 2%/2mm criteria compared to planned doses, with some small volumes passing 99% criteria. Comparisons with ion chamber and film measurements found ArcCHECK doses were higher but within 2%, and it was concluded ArcCHECK is suitable for measuring tomotherapy IMRT doses due to advantages like numerous measurement points and simultaneous absolute and relative dose measurements.
