2. The Problem
Patient Safety and Dose Accuracy in Radiation Oncology are important responsibilities for industry providers and healthcare professionals. Many devices, users and processes are involved in a clinical workflow and the warranty of quality highly depends on the reliability and efficiency of the patient specific QA checks and their verification. The lack of integration causes not only a lot of manual work for clinicians but also an increased risk of errors and mistreatments to be avoided. Modern technologies must provide technical solutions that are easy to implement in a broad scale. Pre-treatment verifications will ensure that all the necessary steps in the process have been successfully integrated. However the ultimate goal of Radiation Oncology is to ensure that the radiation doses delivered to Tumor and Normal tissues match the planned – prescribed ones fraction by fraction.
