Why Measure Patient Dose? Patient safety in radiation oncology is the focus of public attention and regulatory scrutiny. Greater complexity of treatments and evolving standards are further raising the bar for radiation safety and increasing risk to health care organizations. There are many reasons to independently verify planned dose during or prior to the first fraction of radiation treatment as part of a patient quality assurance program, including compliance with professional practice guidelines, risk reduction, and improved safety and quality of care. Patient-specific dose measurements offer...
