The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has established a database describing activities of dosimetry audit networks (DAN) in radiotherapy. Since 2010 the data on different aspects of the dosimetry audit have been collected. This information has allowed for the analysis and comparison of current practices in dosimetry auditing activities worldwide. Overall, 79 organizations in 58 countries confirmed that they offer dosimetry audit services for radiotherapy; however, access of radiotherapy centres to the audit remains insufficient. Increased availability of audits is necessary to improve dosimetry practices, reduce the likelihood of errors and the consequences that would result for patients' health.
国际原子能机构(IAEA)建立了一个描述放射治疗剂量学审核网络(DAN)活动的数据库。自2010年以来,已收集了剂量学审核不同方面的数据。这些信息有助于分析和比较全球剂量学审核活动的当前做法。总体而言,58个国家的79个组织确认它们提供放射治疗剂量学审核服务;然而,放疗中心获得审核的机会仍然不足。增加审核的可及性对于改善剂量学实践、降低错误发生的可能性以及减少对患者健康造成的后果是必要的。
