IROC phantoms accurately detect MLC delivery errors
Both random and whole bank MLC shifts caused dose deviations in the IROC phantoms that were comparable to clinical results previously found in the literature. Deviations measured with ion chambers were well matched with delivery log file analysis. Smaller dose-per-fraction prescriptions caused larger MLC RMS errors that were detected with log files, but were clinically insignificant compared to the dosimetric accuracy of the plan.
