Symposium with Proffered Papers
QUALITY BEYOND ACCURACY: ARE WE FAILING TO SEE THE FOREST
FOR THE TREES?
08:45 - 10:00 | ROOM 2
The rapid technological advances in radiotherapy have led to an increased focus on accuracy, often,
but not always, as a tool to obtain quality. In this symposium, Neil Burnet will review the clinical impact
(or lack thereof) of increased accuracy in treatment delivery. Severine Cucchiaro will try to answer a key
question: what is quality from the patients’ perspective? What are their needs and expectations? Finally,
Håkan Nystrom will discuss the role of the medical physicist in finding the optimal balance between
safety and quality, within a multidisciplinary strategy.
Chair: M. Aznar (Denmark)
Co-chair: S. Magrini (Italy)
