| Popis: | In the Czech Republic, a more advanced version of postal audit in radiotherapy (RT) is available. It covers dose measurements with thermoluminescent dosemeters (TLD) in more complex conditions of irradiation, when dose distribution is affected by heterogeneities in the irradiated volume. Relative deviation between doses measured with TLDs and doses stated by RT centre should not exceed 3%. During 2015–2017, all Czech RT centres equipped with modern linear accelerators were subjected to this more advanced TLD audit. A total of 70% of participants complied with the limit of 3% in the first round of this audit. |
