Nederlandse Commissie voor Stralingsdosimetrie

Subcommittee: "Dosimetry Audit"

The goal of the committee is to design and administer an audit on absolute dosimetry in radiotherapy institutes in the Netherlands and Belgium. The audit will be based on the new NCS dosimetry protocol #18. In first instance, this audit will be limited to high energy photon beams. In the future an extension to high energy electron beams can be expected.

The audit will focus on measurements of a 6 MV photon beam. Measurements of higher energies will be included when available. It is the intension to visit every institute in the Netherlands and Belgium. During the summer of 2008 a questionnaire will be distributed to collect necessary information. The audit itself is due to start in the fall of 2008.
