Table 4.

The patient QA breakdown by technique, MLC type, LINAC model, device, and operator. Note that MLC type comparison is for the QAs delivered in the TrueBeam LINACs only (1,136 in total), LINAC model comparison excludes the plans calculated in the TPS with the Elekta Versa LINAC model (3,082 in total), and operator comparison excludes the operators who performed the lower number of QAs (2,796 in total).
