Arguments for…





 Can use alternative checks:

 Alternative checks are unfeasible:

 Independent software-based calculations & complexity metrics to test the TPS  linac QA to check if the plan will be delivered accurately

 IMRT plans possess more beam parameter information than 3DCRT so manual checks for file transfer integrity are unfeasible  Complexity metrics aren’t reliable enough to predict if delivered plans will match the TPS model

 checksums to verify integrity of data transfer
