Error Sensitivity

Author: Marlies Pasler, Livia Marrazzo, et al, Lake Constance Radiation Oncology Center, Friedrichshafen (Germany) and University of Florence (Italy) Summary: Deviations in dose distributions between the original and error-induced plans were compared in terms of detector signal deviation, dose-volume histogram (DVH) metrics and 2D γ-evaluation.

Author: Makan Farrokhkish, et al, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto (Canada) Summary: Evaluation of the IQM beam monitoring performance to assess the accuracy and reproducibility of the linac beam delivery. The signal calculation accuracy and measurement reproducibility as well as the error detection capability of the IQM System was evaluated. For this study the author

Author: Kilian Michel, Lake Constance Radiation Oncology Center, Singen-Friedrichshafen (Germany) Summary: Evaluation of the IQM System for Online Dosimetry during the patient treatment. The long-term signal stability, the error detection sensitivity for induced errors, the correlation of the IQM and the Dose-Volume-Histogram as well as treatment plan verification with the IQM System has been evaluated.

Author: Marlies Pasler, Lake Constance Radiation Oncology Center, Friedrichshafen (Germany) Summary: Evaluation of the potential of the IQM System to catch errors before they become clinically relevant. They also checked if IQM would help them to improve the efficiency of their processes and finally they checked if IQM would replace their current pre-treatment QA. They
