Abstract
A method for calculating the radiation dose distribution for a radiation treatment system for the purpose of radiation therapy of an animal body, wherein the radiation beam of the radiation treatment system exhibits a specific beam field size and shape at different depths as well as to a device for calculating the radiation dose distribution for a radiation treatment system for the purpose of radiation therapy of an animal body, wherein the radiation beam of the radiation treatment system exhibits a specific beam field size and shape at different depths. The method is characterized by the steps of i) determining at least one beam quality index being representative for the radiation beam being used, and ii) calculating the radiation dose distribution in the specific beam field using parameterized dose deposition kernels based on the at least one beam quality index.
