Determination of machine-specific tolerances using statistical process control analysis of long-term uniform scanning proton machine QA results.

The 3σ of the dose output, flatness, and symmetry differences in all four rooms were comparable to the TG224 tolerance (±2%). For the uniform scanning system, if the measured range is compared against the requested range, it may not always be possible to achieve the range difference within ±1 mm (TG224) for all the ranges.
