Development of Quality Audits for Advanced Technology (IMRT) in Radiotherapy Dose Delivery

The results of the CRP contributed to the increase in radiation dosimetry expertise in the participated countries that leads to potentially reducing the number of misadministrations of dose to radiotherapy patients. It also provided improved confidence in the introduction of more advanced technologies and treatments in Member States involved in the CRP. Hence, better cooperation and standardization of radiation dosimetry practices is expected at the national and potentially international level for those countries participating in the CRP. The project can also benefit any other country willing to develop a national dosimetry network. There is direct experience available, gained by the countries involved in the CRP, on the practical methods and procedures to perform measurements of the advanced parameters included in this project. In addition, the network experience, is available as examples of how to develop the methodology to implement those procedures and to allow these experiences and results to be shared and transferred to others. The methods and the tools required can then be adopted by other national networks in a straightforward manner.
