AbstractAbstract
[en] A questionary to 119 professionals connected with the food field was performed in order to know their attitude, doubts and concernings about food irradiation considering that a favourable opinion would produce trust to the consumer market. The first part of the questionary showed the following results: 13% had never heard about food irradiation (FI), 72% were few familiarized with it, and 14% knew the subject; 42% would accept FI, 37% probably would accept it, 19% could not make up their minds and 2% would not accept it; 45% would eat irradiated food (IF), 45% probably would eat it, 8% probably would not eat it and 2% would not eat it; 44% would serve IF in their home, 45% would probably do so, 8% would probably not do it, and 3% would not do it. The second part showed that 67% of people thought that ionizing radiation (IR) improved the sanitary quality of food, 3% did not think so, and 29% did not know; 63% thought that IR is preferible to chemical preservatives, 4% did not think so and 33% did not know; 11% thought that the food treated with IR becomes radioactive, 60% did not think so, and 29% did not know; 42% thought that FI is wholesome, 8% did not think so, and 50% did not know; 8% consider that the majority of the persons would eat IF, 40% did not think so and 52% did not know; 82% consider necessary that IF have an identificatory label, 10% did not think so, and 8% did not know; 95% consider necessary more diffusion of this method before its commercialization, 2% did not think so and 3% did not know, and 81% want more information, 18% would want it and 1% do not want it. These results are considered to be a good sign of future consumption acceptability of food irradiation. (Author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Overall, dosimetry audit has improved consistency in radiotherapy results and outcomes for patients and provided confidence to clinicians in the dosimetry supporting their practice. Its importance and impact is clearly recognised and its encouragement of and links to other wider radiotherapy audit has been significant. As it is estimated that a large number of the existing radiotherapy facilities world-wide have not yet participated in some level of independent external dose quality audit, the breadth of uptake of audit is to be encouraged. As the complexity of radiotherapy develops, the scope of what can be included in dosimetry and wider radiotherapy quality audits also needs to continue to increase

AbstractAbstract
[en] Quality audit in Nuclear Malaysia is monitored by Research Management Centre (RIMC) that manages and monitors the internal and external audit are performed effectively. Therefore auditing for Quality Management System (QMS) is a tool that helps Nuclear Malaysia to enhance the quality performance beside to sustain the certificate. QMS is a platform for processes and laboratories to make continual improvement such as the need to close the Audit Findings to tackle nonconformance (nc) clauses and opportunity for improvement (ofi) that focus on customers and suppliers. This study will discuss the percentage of non-conforming and conforming of processes and laboratories and to identify the trend for the year 2012, 2013 and 2014. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data by using SPSS version 20 and excel software. The finding of this study found that there are some trends of total numbers of non-conforming items for internal and external audit for the year 2012 to 2014. The improvement plans from RMC are also have been discussed according to four factors; internal audit quality, organizational setting, management support and auditee attributes. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Full text: Earlier this year, the Australian Health Ministers' Advisory Council accepted the Federal Government's offer to fund the establishment and operation for 3 years of an Australian Clinical Dosimetry Service (ACDS). The service will be located within the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency in Yallambie, Victoria and will commence operation at the beginning of 20II. The purpose of the ACDS is to make available independent checks and auditing services to all Australian radiotherapy services. These services will range form postal audits to site visits, and include treatment dose assessments using phantoms (Level III audits). There will be a Clinical Advisory Group to oversee the development of the service, so the ACPSEM and other professional groups will playa key role in developing the ACDS. In consultation with radiotherapy facilities, the ACDS will establish an Audit Panel which will be made up of local staff to assist with on site work and minimise travel costs. The results of all measurements made by the ACDS will be confi dential: only de-identified data would be publicly reported. The service will be free to participating facilities in the first 3 years. An independent review will be conducted in the third year to determine the ongoing arrangements for the service.

AbstractAbstract
[en] In this paper, we report the dosimetry methodology used in the IAEA/WHO Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) Postal Dose Quality Audit Service and the results of 22 Malaysian radiotherapy centres participated in the audit from 2011 to 2015. Each participating centre was provided with a few sets of TLD capsule (two unit of TLD capsules to be irradiated and a control TLD in one set) as requested by the centres. The participating centres were asked to irradiate each TLD capsule at 2 Gy absorbed a dose to water under reference conditions i.e the TLD capsule is positioned at 10 cm depths in water, at central axis with 10 cm x 10 cm field size at 100 cm Source-Surface Distance or 100 cm Source-Axis Distance. In this period, a total of 70 photon beams consist of 43 beams and 27 beams produced by 6 MV and 10 MV photon beams, respectively have been audited. The results demonstrated that all participating centres comply with the acceptance limits of ± 5 % as recommended by the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) Report 24, except eight photon beams from six centres. However, these centres presented better compliance results after being followed up with a second round of TLD irradiation. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of patient and cohort size on the overall uncertainty associated with dose audit using radiography of the abdomen as the exemplar. Water equivalent diameter Dw was used as the surrogate for patient size and its distribution (σ(Dw)) was used to quantify the effect of sample size. The more precise the kerma area product calibration, the more patients are required in the cohort to have the same impact on the overall uncertainty. Patient sample sizes of 300–400 will result in expanded uncertainties approaching the theoretical limit of double the measurement uncertainty when audits are performed with instruments having measurement uncertainties equal to ±7%, ±10% or ±12.5%. By way of example, for a field instrument with a measurement uncertainty of ±10%, a minimum sample size of 350 is required to achieve a total expanded uncertainty of ±21%. In the case of instruments with associated measurement uncertainty of ±3.5%, patient sample sizes of 300–400 will result in expanded uncertainties of approximately ±10%. From review of the literature and comparison with the results obtained here, it is conjectured that for radiographic dose audits of all parts of the trunk the contribution to overall uncertainty due to patient and sample size could be predicted using an indicative value for σ(Dw) of 3.4 where local data is not available.
