The test was designed to interrogate the system components as a whole without deconstructing the individual sources of error. The integral system test was based on the imaging of an unambiguous stationary object in the treatment position and so took no account of patient related errors. An array of micromosfets interspersed within slices of a tissue equivalent phantom was developed as an imaging test object. It has previously been demonstrated that micromosfets have a very small active volume, are clearly visible on CT images, and produce no significant artifacts. In addition, the active volume of the micromosfets can be accurately inferred radiographically via the use of x\u2010ray volumetric imaging. X\u2010ray volumetric imaging was performed with the object in the treatment position, then reconstructed and transferred to a treatment planning system. With the phantom remaining undisturbed in the treatment position a series of treatment fields were designed to produce a series of fields with the leaf edge sweeping across active volume of the micromosfets. The fields were delivered with a micro\u2010MLC to dosimetrically verify the position of the mosfets and compare with dose values produced by the treatment planning system. It was demonstrated that the systematic gantry flex could be accounted for by the imaging and delivery systems. For the delivery system small changes in leaf positions of the micro\u2010MLC were required to account for gantry flex. The position of the micromosfets determined by the 50% dose position was on average <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"graphic\/mp3874-math-0001.png\" xlink:title=\"urn:x-wiley:00942405:media:mp3874:mp3874-math-0001\" \/> away from the position determined radiographically for the <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"graphic\/mp3874-math-0002.png\" xlink:title=\"urn:x-wiley:00942405:media:mp3874:mp3874-math-0002\" \/> and <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"graphic\/mp3874-math-0003.png\" xlink:title=\"urn:x-wiley:00942405:media:mp3874:mp3874-math-0003\" \/> axes, and <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"graphic\/mp3874-math-0004.png\" xlink:title=\"urn:x-wiley:00942405:media:mp3874:mp3874-math-0004\" \/> for the <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"graphic\/mp3874-math-0005.png\" xlink:title=\"urn:x-wiley:00942405:media:mp3874:mp3874-math-0005\" \/> axis.
