摘要
Quality assurance in radiotherapy affects the radiotherapy department organization, management, patient follow-up, distribution of responsibilities, training and equipment management. The development of innovative techniques for radiotherapy and associated radiotherapy equipment requires an adaptation of the concepts of quality assurance and quality control as practiced last 30 years. A new paradigm and new methods adapted from industry, including patient safety and quality care in a more holistic approach to quality assurance and quality control.
