An analysis was completed of the dose deviation that the patient received.The result of that analysis indicated some deviations in the intended dose for delivery in the specific fraction, but negligible deviation from the intended prescription dose, both to the target and to the oars (organs at risk).The incident was assessed as user error, particularly because the user continued on the treat panel even though they were intending to scan the patient for positioning.The overall risk was acceptable and there was no serious injury to the patient.
