1. A method of evaluating dosimetric uncertainties for a radiation delivery, the radiation delivery performed pursuant to a treatment plan and the treatment plan comprising machine delivery instructions, the method comprising:

  • identifying a data parameter for the radiation delivery device;

    identifying uncertainty in the data parameter related to the delivery instructions;

    generating a dose map using the delivery instructions and a dose calculation module; and

    generating a statistical uncertainty map utilizing the uncertainty in the data parameter, the delivery instructions, and the dose calculation module, the statistical uncertainty map representing an uncertainty indication in the dose map related to the uncertainty in the data parameter.
