Real-time beam monitoring for error detection in IMRT plans and impact on dose-volume histograms

ConclusionThe detector is capable of detecting small delivery errors in MU and leaf positions, and is thus a  highly sensitive dose monitoring device for S&S IMRT for clinical practice. The results of this study indicate a  good correlation of detector signal with DVH metrics; therefore, clinical action levels can be defined based on the presented data.
