Gamma analysis clinically relevant?
•
Studies have shown that clinically relevant parameters do not correlate well
with gamma pass rates (Nelms et al. MedPhys 2011, Carver et al.
RadiatOncol 2011)
•
Dose deviation tolerance usually at a few percent
•
Tumour control probability depends strongly on the dose deviation
•
Comparison of isodoses is important for critical organs at risk
•
Not sensitive to small systematic differences
