Joint Symposium ESTRO-IAEA
JOINT ESTRO-IAEA EFFORTS ON DOSIMETRY, QA AND AUDIT
FOR ADVANCED TREATMENT TECHNIQUES
08:45 - 10:00 | ROOM 500
Advanced treatment techniques present increasingly complex challenges for commissioning, do-
simetry, QA and verification. This joint ESTRO-IAEA symposium reviews activities in some key areas
supporting the clinical implementation, evaluation, assurance and development of advanced radio-
therapy methods. It focusses on i) the new small/non-standard field dosimetry CoP, to ensure consist-
ent dosimetry in these situations; ii) discussion of small field dosimetry uncertainties for significance/
acceptability in VMAT/IMRT, considering whether current practice and tools for patient specific QA
can detect such uncertainties; and iii) recent developments and results in the IAEA external audit sys-
tem and their application and lessons for advanced radiotherapy.
