∙ mA-minutes for X Ray units

∙ Gy for treatment units

Should consider ALL uses (

e.g.

include QA measurements)

Example for workload on linac

Hp D = 2.5Gy at isocentre, 50 patients treated per day on 250 working days/y

W = 50 x 250 x 2.5 = 31250 Gy/year

allow for other uses such as physics, blood irradiation, …

Total : 40000Gy per year at isocentre
