TPS and treatment planning

In order to use a TPS for accurate treatment planning, any TPS installed in a radiation therapy department must be:

1) acceptance testing before commissioning
2) provided with machine beam data input
3) provided with patient specific data input
4) verified for the accuracy of the dose computation

Accuracy of the dose computed by the TPS depends on
1) accuracy of the beam calibration
2) dose calculation algorithm
