The largest percentage of erroneous detection was seen in the increasing number of MU, with a GPR ranging from 41 to 92. Gamma analysis was used to compare the dose distributions of the original and intentional error designs using the 2%\/2 mm criteria. The percentage of dose errors (DEs) in the dose-volume histogram (DVH) was also analyzed, and the statistical association was assessed using logistic regression. A modest association (Pearson\u2019s\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">R<\/jats:italic>\n                      -values: 0.12\u20130.67) was seen between the DE and GPR in all intentional plans.
