2016 Risk Course Book

TYPES OF ERRORS

“With modern computer- controlled radiotherapy, [] an error is less likely to be a random event that only affects a single fraction, and is more likely to be somewhat systematic, so that it may affect many fractions or, in fact, a whole treatment course.”

“New QA approaches are required to improve radiotherapy safety and quality in the face of this dramatic change in the types of errors.”
