This was done based on a review of historical frameworks, existing literature and standards, clinical issues in the context of clinical trials, and the trajectory of radiation dose calculations. Based on these factors, recommendations were developed. Results: No framework was found to be ideal or perfect given the history, complexity, and current status of radiation therapy. Nevertheless, based on the evidence available, the GHG established a recommendation preferring dose to medium in medium (Dm,m). Conclusions: Dose to medium in medium (Dm,m) is the preferred dose calculation and reporting framework. If an institution’s planning system can only calculate dose to water in water (Dw,w), this is acceptable.]]> Wed 10 Aug 2022 11:54:01 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52206 5% increase in spinal cord dose relative to the original plans. Six plans (from four institutions) passed despite a >10% increase. Conclusions: This novel audit concept evolves beyond testing an institution’s ability to deliver a single test case, to increasing the number of errors caught by institutions themselves, thus increasing quality of radiation therapy and impacting every patient treated. Administered remotely this audit also provides advantages in cost, environmental impact, and logistics.]]> Thu 05 Oct 2023 10:15:47 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33735 Fri 14 Dec 2018 14:41:57 AEDT ]]>
