Quality assurance of treatment planning systems
Description
In Finland the inspections (site visits) of the Finnish Centre for Radiation and Nuclear Safety (STUK) represent quality audit procedures for the treatment machines and simulators, but at present do not cover treatment planning and CT imaging. The centre has now planned to extend the quality audit program to include the whole treatment chain. The preliminary step of this program was the intercomparison of radiotherapy treatment planning system. As the next step, a special phantom has been designed in order to check the whole treatment chain from treatment planning to dose delivery. (author). 2 figs, 1 tab
