The essence of MBDCA commissioning and your practical session

In short, the commissioning procedure involves the following steps: (0. go through the corresponding literature) 1.download test case(s) from the official test case registry 2. import test case files 3.recalculate (local) MBDCA dose for the test case plan 4.compare MBDCA, local MBDCA and reference dose for the test case plan • Comparison between MBDCA and reference dose data establishes a reference pattern of differences, which is also useful to educate users in the principles and settings of the MBDCA.

•Comparison between local MBDCA and reference data should yield the same pattern of differences.

•If the user TPS version is later than the one used for preparing the test case (v.4.5 for Oncentra and v. 13 for BrachyVision) agreement should be equal or improved.
