Introduction:
Modern state-of-the-art techniques in radiotherapy, such as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), have constantly increased the complexity of treatment delivery and increased the demand for quality assurance (QA) and better small field dosimetry. Dosimetry using radiochromic EBT3 films is a tool sometimes selected to verify the correspondence between planned and measured...

**AIM**: To report the results of commissioning, validation and in-vivo dosimetry of Total Skin Electron Therapy (TSET).
Methods and Materials: TSET was commissioned in linear accelerator (Varian True beam) using 6MeV electron in high dose rate total skin electron ode (HDTSe) mode at a treatment distance of 5 m with filed size 40x40cm2 at gantry angle 270°, collimator angle 0°, using the...

In external beam radiation therapy the precise patient positioning is essential with the current use of complicated treatment plans. Patient-specific pretreatment verification of volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is strongly recommended for all patients in order to detect any potential errors in treatment planning process and machine deliverability, and is thus performed routinely in...

**Aim:** To report the results of commissioning and validation of Total Body Irradiation (TBI) in Varian True Beam linear accelerator (LA).
**Materials and Methods:** TBI technique was commissioned for 6 MV (Doserate 300MU/min) beam in Varian True Beam LA following the recommendation of AAPM TG 17. Various dosimetric parameters were measured viz: output, Tissue Maximum Ratios and...

The procedure of radiotherapy chain testing, from CT imaging to treatment planning and dose delivery, like a part of the quality assurance programme in the N.N. Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center was implemented and investigated in 2015.
CIRS Pelvis is used to perform such QA procedure in the radiation therapy department the phantom. Phantom CIRS Pelvis has an elliptical shape and an...

This work presents the main results of INOR’s participation in the IAEA Coordinated Research Project (CRP) E2.40.18. on "Development of Quality Audits for Advance Technology in Radiotherapy Dose Delivery". The national External Audit Group (EAG) has developed a procedure, based on the CRP’s step 9, for using a radio-photo luminescent glass dosimetry system (RPL-GD), combined with a...
