Abstract
A method for assessing a quality of a beam shaping device includes, establishing with a treatment planning system (TPS) the planned device design of the beam shaping device, manufacturing the beam shaping device according to the planned device design, establishing a CT-scan of the beam shaping device to yield an actual CT-image, determining dimensions and local materials densities from the actual CT-image, determining a calculated dose distribution in the treatment volume (V), and comparing the calculated dose distribution (cDD) with a reference dose distribution (rDD).
