Three corrections for overshoot effect improved the dose for step-and-shoot intensity-modulated radiation therapy

We measured the overshoot effect in a linac and reduced it using block correction, reverse-sequence correction, and index correction. A StarTrack detector was used on a Varian iX. Five segments, 1 × 10 cm(2) in area, were designed; the centers were at −4, −2, 0, 2, and 4 cm on the x axis for measuri...
