Gamma analysis considerations
•
Local or global dose deviation can be used
–
Global: deviation expressed as percentage of maximum or prescribed
dose
–
Local: deviation expressed as percentage of local dose
–
Global dose deviation more forgiving, especially in low-dose region
•
Gamma analysis fails extensively in the low-dose region, but this may not be
of interest: cut-off often applied
•
Can be performed in 2D or 3D: slightly better pass rates with 3D
•
Adjustment for the linac output of the day?
•
Adjust spatial registration of dose distributions for best result?
