Where does ‘patient specific QA’ fits into this
scheme?
It is an additional QA element, if it is
really
patient specific.
Hardware and software are just a part of the treatment
chain. The bottom line is the dose in the patient
.
It may be a useful redundant check, in particular in the
early phases of clinical implementation.
It is a way to compensate for incomplete/unsatisfactory
commissioning.
