Title: European project BRAPHYQS Authors: ID Burger, Janez (Author) Files: PDF - Presentation file, download (67,75 KB) MD5: 5FE79898B722720E55228779441266B1   Language: English Typology: 1.04 - Professional Article Organization: OI - Institute of Oncology Abstract: 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.

Title:	Evropski projekt BRAPHYQS
Abstract:	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.
