App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0

A safety risk regarding a potentially existing dark current radiation phenomenon on the Linear Accelerator (LINAC) in combination with IMRT or mARC (rotational IMRT) treatments using unflat (flattening filter free) beams. In case there are many long periods of field shape changes in a treatment plan, the dose due to dark current radiation may sum up to a significant value.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
