The software that calculates exactly how radiation beams should be shaped and checks the machine delivered it.
Treatment planning systems (Varian Eclipse, Elekta Monaco, RaySearch RayStation, Philips Pinnacle, Brainlab Elements) compute dose from CT/MR images, optimise beam arrangements for IMRT/VMAT/protons, and export plans; independent QA vendors (Sun Nuclear, IBA Dosimetry, PTW, RadCalc) verify delivered dose. RayStation's multi-vendor support and machine-learning planning are notable; cloud and automated planning are the direction.
Monte Carlo or convolution dose engines plus inverse optimisation of fluence subject to organ-at-risk constraints; deliverable plans checked by phantom measurement or log-file analysis.
Dependencies are what this technology cannot be delivered without: manufacturing steps, instruments, software, upstream methods. See its full chain on the map.
