Table of Contents:
  • A comprehensive guide to the problems and techniques of quality assurance in radiotherapy. Prepared by a group of 35 international experts, the book serves as both an introduction to the many factors that influence good radiotherapy practice and a practical guide to the specific tasks involved in quality assurance. Particular attention is given to the urgent need to encourage uniformity in the quality of radiotherapy and consistency in the therapeutic results obtained, whether at departmental, national, or international levels. Chapters are organized to cover operational aspects, physical and technical aspects, and the clinical components of quality assurance, moving from accurate patient registration to the assessment of treatment outcome.
