Consensus on integrated application of domestic radiotherapy equipment-Nasopharyngeal carcinoma homogeneous IMRT: quality control & assurance / 中华放射肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

The complexity of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) equipment and the accuracy of clinical radiotherapy require extremely high standards for the, quality control of IMRT for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Reasonable, reliable and targeted quality control is an essential part of precise radiotherapy. At present, domestic radiotherapy equipment is developing rapidly. Nevertheless, radiotherapy equipment, personnel composition and quality control significantly differ among hospitals. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve homogeneity in the quality control of radiotherapy. Establishing an expert consensus on the quality control of domestic radiotherapy equipment can clarify the content of quality control, testing procedures, testing conditions and personnel qualification and requirement. It can effectively ensure the standardization and homogeneity of the quality control and establish the responsibility, procedures, processes and quality management of the quality control, aiming to offer the optimal radiotherapy to each patient.
