# ZZZ Content Assessment (Informative)

The following use cases exemplify the use of Content Assessment Results IOD.

## ZZZ.1 RT Plan Treatment Assessment Use Case

A RT Plan SOP Instance is sent from a Treatment Planning System (TPS) to a Quality Assurance (QA) Application and to the Treatment Management System (TMS). The TMS de-composes the content for internal storage. At the time of treatment the TMS re-composes the Instance and sends it to the operator console of the linear accelerator. However, during re-composition an error occurs and one jaw specification is omitted from the recomposed Instance and the Beam Dose in the Fraction Scheme Module is set to 0.0.

The operator console requests the QA Application to perform an assessment to compare the copy of the Instance received from the operator console with the copy of the Instance received earlier from the TPS. The QA Application retrieves the Instance from the operator console. The QA Application also performs an assessment by re-calculation of the dosimetric parameters in the assessed plan. Although the Beam Meterset in the assessed plan (from the operator console) is the same as the Beam Meterset in the comparison plan (from the TPS) , the Beam Meterset re-calculated by the QA Application is different due to the missing jaw. Further on it is detected, that all Beam Dose values have the value 0.0.

Beam Meterset for the current treatment device in this example is expressed in Monitor Units.
