Impact of machine log-files uncertainties on the quality assurance of proton pencil beam scanning treatment delivery.

In conclusion our new PSQA protocol allows for a fast verification of the dose delivered after every treatment fraction through the use of machine log-files and an independent Monte Carlo dose engine. Moreover, the inclusion of log-file uncertainties in the dose calculation allows for a correct evaluation of the quality of the treatment plan delivery. &#13.
