Table 1.

Mean (±1SD) gamma pass rate difference between the original ArcCheck dose matrix resolution of 5 mm (left columns) and 1mm resolution (right column) for lung SABR VMAT plans delivered with different collimator, MLCFS and MLCShift variations. A lower gamma pass rate number indicates greater sensitivity to the introduced‐variation.
