Abstract
A new co-ordinated research project (CRP) was launched by
the IAEA for the national audit networks for radiotherapy with
the purpose of developing the methodology for remotely
auditing IMRT related QA. The programme involves three audit
steps: (1) remote verification of TPS calculation of small field
output factors relevant for IMRT and audit of MLC positional
performance, (2) audit of single clinical IMRT field dose delivery
and (3) ‘end-to-end’ audit (imaging, planning, dose delivery) for
multiple field IMRT techniques. New procedures and phantoms
are being developed and examined through multi-centre pilot
studies involving CRP participants.
