QUALITY ASSURANCE (QA) AND QUALITY CONTROL (QC) IN RADIATION TREATMENT- A SHORT REVIEW

Abstract

ABSTRACT
An overview of quality control in radiotherapy equipment was given in this work. Complex processes and tests are necessary when buying new radiotherapy equipment, and they fall within a quality assurance program. The processes for monitoring (or testing) and maintaining the technical components of the equipment are crucial elements in the quality assurance (QA) program, and they are both included in the quality control (QC) program. In addition, this paper examines the procedure for buying new equipment, which is then put through a series of tests before an institution accepts it. Additionally, clinical consistently applies quality assurance to create a clear organisational framework regarding accountability for duties.

ABSTRAK
Gambaran keseluruhan kawalan kualiti dalam peralatan radioterapi telah diberikan dalam kerja ini. Proses dan ujian yang kompleks diperlukan apabila membeli peralatan radioterapi baharu, dan ia termasuk dalam program jaminan kualiti. Proses untuk memantau (atau menguji) dan menyelenggara komponen teknikal peralatan adalah elemen penting dalam program jaminan kualiti (QA), dan kedua-duanya termasuk dalam program kawalan kualiti (QC). Di samping itu, kertas kerja ini mengkaji prosedur untuk membeli peralatan baharu, yang kemudiannya melalui beberapa siri ujian sebelum institusi menerimanya. Selain itu, klinikal secara konsisten menggunakan jaminan kualiti untuk mewujudkan rangka kerja organisasi yang jelas mengenai akauntabiliti untuk tugas.
