Author: Martijn Kusters, Richard Canters, Radboud UMC, Nijmegen (The Netherlands) Summary: The IQM enables a clinic to do real-time, intra-fraction monitoring of beam delivery. The error sensitivity and specificity can be expected to be sufficient for clinical practice, and performs at least as well as their current equipment (Scandidos Delta 4)

Author: Jianguo Qian, et al, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore (USA) Summary: The author draws the preliminary conclusion that IQM is a stable dosimetric system and can detect dosimetric deviations caused by small leaf errors in stereotactic radiation therapy. The sensitivity to leaf errors is more pronounced for relatively small fields (i.e., small targets) in SBRT.
