A Practical Example: SRT Case
▪
Intracranial lesion: 3 x 8 Gy @ 80%
▪
SD of the penumbra is 3.2 mm
▪
E2E test device error (1 SD) = 0.4 mm (measured over a long period)
▪
Localization (delineation) error = 1.0 mm (1 SD)
▪
Systematic error = 0.5 mm (1 SD) [measured from 30-fraction treatments]
▪
Random error = 0.5 mm (1 SD) [measured from 30-fraction treatments]
▪
Intra-fraction error = 0.5 mm ( 1 SD) [measured from 30-fraction treatments
at end of treatment]
