Development and validation of a matlab software program for decoding the treatment errors in real-time position management & #8482; Gating-generated breathing trace

Conclusion: The developed GUI gave the same and acceptable results for all regular profiles. These errors were due to the lag time of the linear accelerator with gating treatment. This program can be used as to quantifying the intrafraction “beam-on” errors in breathing trace with both mode of gating techniques for irregular breathing trace, and in addition, it is capable to convert phase-based gating parameters to amplitude-based gating parameters for treatment.
