A proof of concept for improving comparability of dosimetry audits through centralised planning.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

The role of dosimetry audits is well established in the development and verification of radiotherapy safety. Differences in planning and beam modelling make inter-centre comparisons challenging, which can be addressed through distribution of centrally created plans. This study developed a centralised planning approach applicable to multiple audit methodologies, using an example of remote patient specific quality assurance assessment, increasing the interpretability of results and facilitating automation and scalability.

Material and methods

Starting with an established plan which met all clinical goals, a commercial dose mimicking algorithm was used to replicate this plan to be suitable for multiple treatment machines. Beam and machine limitation data
