TYPES OF ERRORS
01/10/2016
“With modern computer- controlled radiotherapy, [] an error is
less likely to be a random event that only affects a single
fraction, and is more likely to be somewhat systematic, so that
it may affect many fractions or, in fact, a whole treatment
course.”
“New QA approaches are required to improve
radiotherapy safety and quality in
the face of this dramatic change in the types of errors.”
