Analysis

Bring in a plan from a TPS and a film irradiated to that plan, and compare them using Van Dyk's criteria, the most critical of the tests for an IMRT system because it verifies the patient exposure on a pixel by pixel basis. You can view histograms or pixel images for any of the gradiant/dose combinations.
