Description

The reception of radiotherapy equipment must be completed, before the clinical use, by a technical validation of the considered radiotherapy techniques, through processes oriented controls such I.M.R.T., the radiotherapy in intra and extra skull stereotactic conditions. The objective is to validate with the help of an adapted test object and measurements material of dosimetry, the technical path of the patient, represented by the test object, in radiotherapy from the scanner of preparation, passing by the treatment planning system (T.P.S.), the data transfer in the radiotherapy information system until the control of the dose delivery by the medical linear accelerator.
