Welcome back to the RadOnc Smart Review Physics Series! In P8a, we discussed Beam Quality – how penetrating our radiation beams are. Now, in Episode P8b: Quality Assurance (QA) for Linacs & Simulators, we tackle the absolutely essential processes that ensure these powerful and complex machines operate correctly and safely every single day. We'll explore the key QA tests, frequencies, and tolerances based on AAPM Task Group reports, focusing on keeping our treatments accurate and our patients safe.
