AbstractErrors in the calculation of radiation therapy treatment time or monitor setting are likely to occur with regularity unless adequate quality control procedures are utilized. These errors can be greatly reduced if appropriate computer systems are employed with programs which utilize analytical representations of dosimetric quantities. A system wherein dosimetry technologists routinely check treatment calculations using a computer terminal has been in operation in our department for several years and has proved helpful in uncovering calculation errors.
