Question
Why does IBA ask for anonymized patient data for myQA Ion? What does IBA use the anonymized patient data for? Does IBA match the TPS to the Beam Model using the patient plans?
Answer
IBA employees request anonymized patient data for a verification of the Beam Model. To be more precise, the anonymized plans are used to make sure that we are in the correct ballpark and that there are no obvious errors. We indeed don't want to match the TPS as this would defeat the purpose of an independent verification.
