In order to validate the above‐described pre‐calculation kernel‐based method, we simulated treatment of 50 tumors using GammaPlan. Tumor locations and sizes were exported to Matlab for recalculation of 3D dose distribution. Resultant data were analyzed in three ways. First, dose profiles generated by GammaPlan and by simulation were compared qualitatively. Second, a γ‐analysis was performed using 3 mm/3% criteria. Third, mean doses delivered based on each plan were compared.
