Clinical test cases for commissioning, QA, and benchmarking of model‐based dose calculation algorithms in <sup>1</sup> ⁹ <sup>2</sup> Ir HDR gynecologic tandem and ring brachytherapy
The provided datasets and proposed methodology can serve as a commissioning framework for TPSs that employ MBDCAs, as well as a benchmark for brachytherapy researchers using MC methods and MBDCA developers. They also facilitate intercomparisons of MBDCA performance and provide a quality assurance resource for evaluating future TPS software updates.
