1. A method for verifying radiation dose delivery, comprising:
- generating radiation dose distribution images of measured radiation beams;
mapping and storing the generated dose distribution images as data points of a first data structure, the first data structure having, as dimensions, positional information and radiation dose information of the measured radiation beams;
comparing the data points of the first data structure with corresponding data points of a second data structure using a three-dimensional (3D) gamma portal dose distribution algorithm, the second data structure having, as dimensions, positional information and radiation dose information of predicted radiation beams; and
determining differences between the measured and predicted radiation beams based on a result of the comparison.
