Manual of Dosimetry in Radiotherapy. Technical Reports No. 110

Download	Autor (es): IAEA 146, p. For radiotherapy to be safe and effective a number of technical conditions have to be met to ensure that the radiation beam is appropriate for each individual patient and that the dosage received by the patient is as planned. While it is the function of the radiotherapist to decide the characteristics of the treatment, he may not have the technical background to ensure that the equipment is operated in such a way that the desired results are achieved. This responsibility belongs to the medical radiation physicist.
