The inorganic scintillator in the present form can represent a valuable detector for small-field dosimetry and periodic quality controls at MR-Linacs such as dose stability, OFs, and dose linearity. In particular, the detector can be effectively used for small-field dosimetry at 1.5 cm depth and for PDD measurements if the field dimension of 3.32 × 3.32 cm2 is not exceeded.
