Measurement and action protocol

EPID dosimetry results from NKI* based on 5547 patients

(16986 fractions)

%Isocentre difference <5%

Gamma <1 >70%

NKI experience is ~90% of patients will be within criteria

ICRU 83:

5 % was the original ICRU requirement for accuracy of delivery at the

ICRU Reference Point (ICRU, 1993).

For high-gradient (>20 %/cm) regions, the accuracy of DTA should be

3.5 mm

In the future, the recommended accuracy criteria might be made more

stringent
