[Documentation management: from theory to practice]. / La gestion documentaire: de la théorie à la pratique.

The management of the documentation is one of the key points regarding the efficacy and the performance of the quality management of health centres. It offers to all professionals the possibility to be informed on the procedures in use, leading to a pool of documents for improvement of organisations and for securing the critical steps of the patient management. In this paper, we will describe the optimal organisation of the documentation according to Haute autorité de santé (HAS) and ISO recommendations, then we will discuss in concrete terms the potential methods usable for the production of a tool well adapted to our routine practice, in order to achieve the objectives for security.

[Study of a new commercial film for high energy photon dosimetry]. / Etude d'un film récemment commercialisé pour la dosimétrie des faisceaux de photons de haute énergie.

Dosimetric properties of a new film, the Extended Dose Range-EDR2, manufactured by Kodak, have been studied. We have established the response of the film versus dose and compared it with that of X-OMAT V films. We found a linear response with dose, for the range from 0.5 to 4 Gy. No dependence of this curve with beam quality and with depth is observed. EDR2 films are useful for dosimetric study of high-energy photon beam, especially when high dose gradient occurs such as for Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy Treatment.
