1 QMP understands algorithms and has received proper training.
3 Manufacturer's guidance for data acquisition was consulted and followed.
3.B Appropriate CT calibration data acquired.
3.D Review of raw data (compare with published data, check for error, confirm import into TPS).
4 Beam modeling process completed according to manufacturer's instructions.
4 Beam models evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively using metrics within the modeling software.
