The intended use for this application is to aid software developers in implementing programs that contain functionality similar to radiation treatment planning systems (TPS), including programs designed to provide independent secondary checks of other TPS results. Therefore typical indications for use are for planning or analyzing proton radiation therapy treatments for cancer patients with a wide range of disease locations. This is the context in which this application was developed and it was within this scope of use that the system was tested and cleared for sale by the FDA. | The intended use for this application is to aid software developers in implementing programs that contain functionality similar to radiation treatment planning systems (TPS), including programs designed to provide independent secondary checks of other TPS results.

- | The current state of proton delivery machines is such that two major modes of delivery are utilized: spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) and pencil-beam scanning (PBS). Each such mode requires various machine parameters to be defined which facilitate the proper modeling of the dose delivered by a beam. Providing a means for users to specify the parameters necessary to configure their system is therefore an important concern so that the dose calculation algorithms can provide proper results for users of a variety of proton machine vendors. The proton treatment machine model provides user configurable parameters that allow dose calculation results to be commissioned to a variety of proton machine types, | + | The current state of proton delivery machines is such that two major modes of delivery are utilized: spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) and pencil-beam scanning (PBS).
