Abstract
The present disclosure is directed towards a treatment planning system for use in a stereotactic radiotherapy system. In particular, the disclosed systems and methods may be used for generating a treatment plan and/or verifying an existing treatment plan. Moreover, the disclosed systems and methods may be suitable for use in a clinical setting. A method for verifying a treatment plan of a stereotactic radiotherapy device may include the steps of receiving a treatment plan, generating a second treatment plan by applying a modified monte-carlo method to regions of interest in the treatment plan, and identifying discrepancies between the received treatment plan and the generated second treatment plan.
