Provera apsorbovanih doza u vodi u radioterapijskim ustanovama Srbije od 2017. do 2019. godine

Abstract

Kontrola kvaliteta u radioterapiji je od velike vaţnosti za poboljšanje preciznosti i pouzdanosti radioterapijskih procedura. Minimizacija negativnih posledica po pacijente se postiţe smanjenjem verovatnoće pojavljivanja slučajnih i sistematskih grešaka identifikovanjem problema u postojećim standardnim procedurama u bolnicama. Značajna metoda kontrole kvaliteta rada radioterapijskih centara jeste program poštanske termoluminiscentne dozimetrije, zajednički organizovan od strane Međunarodne agencije za atomsku energiju i Svetske zdravstvene organizacije, a u kojem učestvuje oko 1700 bolnica širom sveta. Radioterapijski centri u Srbiji takođe učestvuju u ovom programu. Program poređenja apsorbovanih doza u vodi u radioterapijskim centrima u Srbiji je sproveden i tokom 2017, 2018. i 2019. godine. U tom periodu, broj obuhvaćenih centara je porastao sa šest na osam. Radiofotoluminiscentni dozimetri su ozračivani u visokoenergetskim poljima X-fotona generisanim pomoću linearnih akceleratora.

Quality control in radiotherapy is of great importance in order to improve accuracy and reliability of radiotherapy procedures in hospitals. Minimization of the possible negative consequences of these procedures is achieved by reducing the probability of any random or systematic errors appearing, by determining the existing problems in the standard hospital procedures. One of the important methods for the radiotherapy facilities quality control is the postal thermoluminiscent dosimetry programme, co-organized by International Atomic Energy Agency and the World Health Organization, in which approximately 1700 hospitals throughout the world are participating. Radiotherapy centers in Serbia also participate in this programme, which has been executed during 2017, 2018 and 2019. During this period the number of participating radiotherapy centers in Serbia has increased from six to eight. Radiophotoluminiscent dosimeters have been irradiated in the high-energy X-ray fields generated by using linear accelerators.
