Practices of radiotherapy equipment quality control in radiotherapy centers in Croatia

From the prescription to the delivery of radiotherapy treatment, a team of professionals from a number of disciplines is involved in a large number of steps. In this way the significant potential for mistakes leading to an accidental exposure becomes apparent and comprehensive quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) programme is, therefore, required. One of the most important aspects of QA/QC programme is quality control of the equipment used for the treatment planning and therapy. In this paper we present experiences in establishing QC procedures in radiotherapy in our centers. Also differences in QC practices in Croatian radiotherapy centers are reviewed in the light of recommendations given by international reports and publications.
