1. A system comprising:

  • at least one programmable processor; and

    a non-transient machine-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising;

    (a) receive a subset of radiation planning data for a given patient selected from a set of;

    anatomy volume contours and target volume prescriptions;

    (b) generate a fictitious treatment dose matrix from the subset of radiation planning data with a modeling process wherein the subset and the modeling process are selected so that the fictitious treatment dose matrix provides a quality of dose placement beyond that achievable with a physically realizable radiation therapy machine;

    (c) receive radiation planning information selected from the group consisting of radiation plan goals for the given patient and a clinical radiation therapy plan for the given patient;

    (d) evaluate the radiation planning information against the fictitious treatment dose matrix; and

    (e) output the evaluation.
