The Impact Of PC-Based Treatment Planning Systems in Radiation Therapy : II. Quality Assurance In Brachytherapy Computations.

A M Pendse, R Nehru, D.D. Deshpande, P.S Vishwanathan

Abstract

Quality assurance (QA) in brachytherapy is as important as quality assurance in external beam radiation therapy. Not much literature is available on QA of PC-based treatment planning systems to improve the accuracy of dose computations. In this paper, some useful quality assurance tests for brachytherapy are suggested for proper evaluation and use of treatment planning systems (TPS).
