Abstract:
Beam configuration data obtained during the commissioning and/or quality assurance (QA) testing of a radiation therapy device can be validated against other radiation therapy devices within the radiotherapy community. Data and parameters from previously commissioned or QA-tested devices can be compiled and analyzed at a remote module. At the remote module, data and parameters obtained from a radiation therapy device undergoing commissioning or QA testing can be compared to the previously compiled data and/or parameters, to factory data and/or parameters, and/or to predetermined device limits, in order to provide an indication to an end user of potential issues or errors. Warnings, feedback, and/or suggestions can be provided to the end user of the radiation therapy device based on the comparison.
