 The ElectronRT App includes a set of QA Tools that allow the user to measure each treatment beam dose on a water phantom, compute dose on bolus simulation CT images and compare results, and export QA PDF reports. The QA Tools block is only enabled for approved treatment plans.
 ===== Dose QA =====
-The Dose QA block computes and displays the dose for each beam in the treatment plan to a water phantom. For each beam, the user is able to define the SSD and the depth of a measurement plane. This measurement plane will be used to take a cross-sectional sample of the water phantom dose. The dimensions of the water phantom, as well as the default measurement plane depth and dose grid spacing, are defined and editable in the [[:electronrt:userguide:tutorials:all_tutorials#qa_options| Site QA Options]].

This measurement plane will be used to take a cross-sectional sample of the water phantom dose. If a custom water phantom was added to the [[:electronrt:userguide:tutorials:all_tutorials#qa_options| Site QA Options]], the Dose QA block will default to the custom phantom and the user will be able to choose between that and the default phantom. The dimensions of the default water phantom, as well as the default measurement plane depth and dose grid spacing, are defined and editable in the [[:electronrt:userguide:tutorials:all_tutorials#qa_options| Site QA Options]].
 After defining the measurement plane depth for at least one beam, the user will be able to click the Export QA Dose Files button to export a QA Dose DICOM file for every measurement plane dose to a local directory. The exported DICOM will include:

 ===== Block QA Reports =====
-The Block QA Reports block allows the user to export PDF printouts of the electron blocks used in the treatment plan. The user can choose to display each block as a physical (true size) or isocenter projection. There is also a printer-friendly option that removes the color from the block projection.
