20.500.12556/DiRROS-18056 European project BRAPHYQS Evropski projekt BRAPHYQS Background. Quality assurance in radiotherapy and brachytherapy is extremely important because errors that may occur during treatment process can be fatal for the patient. European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology has therefore founded BRAPHYQS, a special group that is responsible for the revision of quality assurance procedures of treatment performed in brachytherapy centers and for outlining common standards of work in European countries. Conclusions. The project BRAPHYQS has the following aims: (1) to publish European recommendations for implementing QA/QC in European brachytherapy centers; (2) to set up a central dosimetry audit in European brachytherapy centers (this task will be delegated to ESTRO-EQUAL laboratory at the Institute Gustave Roussy in Paris); (3) to set up a central audit for the geometrical reconstruction of source positions with a special test phantomthat will be available to each brachytherapy center. Hence, a series of"Baltas phantoms" will be elaborated and distributed to the brachytherapy centers in Europe; (4) to prepare a draft of booklet of QA/QC recommendations for testing the brachytherapy equipment and therapy planning systems. Izhodišča. Zagotavljanje kvalitete v radioterapiji in brahiterapiji je pomembno, ker so napake v postopku zdravljenja lahko usodne za bolnika. Tako je Evropsko združenje za terapevtsko radiologijo in onkologijo (ESTRO) med drugim ustanovilo tudi bo BRAPHYQS skupino, ki bo opravila pregled postopkov zagotavljanja kvalitete po brahiterapevtskih centrih in predlagala skupna merila za dežele evropskega območja. Zaključki. S projektom BRAPHYQS želimo doseči naslednje cilje: (1) Objaviti evropska priporočila za izvajanje QA/QC po brahiteraapevtskih centrih; (2) Postaviti centralno dozimetrijsko preverjanje doz po brahiterapijskih centrih. To bo prevzel ESTRO-EQUAL laboratorij na inštitutu Gustave Roussy iz Pariza; (3) Postaviti preverjanje geometrijskih rekonstrukcij položajev izvirov s posebnim testnim fantomom, ki bo poslan v brahiterapijski center. V ta namen bo izdelana serija "Baltasovih fantomov", ki se bodo pošiljali po centrih po Evropi; (4) Sestaviti knjižico QA/QC priporočil za preverjanje brahiterapijske opreme in terapevtskih planirnih sistemov. true false true Slovenian Medical Association - Slovenian Association of Radiology, Nuclear Medicine Society, Slovenian Society far Radiotherapy and Oncology, and Slovenian Cancer Society Ljubljana Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik by Authors Neznano 2024-01-31 11:23:27 2024-01-31 11:23:27 2024-02-01 03:40:49 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2002 0 0 BSDOCID92685; str. 245-248 št. 3 Letn. 36 september 2002 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2002-09-01 61 1318-2099 15525337 RAZ_Burger_Janez_2002.pdf RAZ_Burger_Janez_2002.pdf 1 5FE79898B722720E55228779441266B1 39a7d77da851eff87cd197a9521b5e62b4b2dc3b7c6150c1d39ab9dba64ebc6f fd9eff84-c022-11ee-b0d4-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=24500 Onkološki inštitut Ljubljana 0 0 0
