Comprehensive quality assurance of dose bricks technique in treatment planning is a crucial and complex issue and is beyond the scope of this preliminary investigation.
Complete bioavailability of i.v. busulfan (Bu) provides dose assurance by reducing the interdose and interpatient variability in Bu systemic exposure (Bu-SE) associated with the oral formulation.
The use of CLI has been proposed also for beam quality assurance and for dose calibration [121, 122].
We have therefore investigated the possibility of using a commercially available, liquid-filled electronic portal imaging device (EPID) for the pre-treatment quality assurance of dynamically delivered dose distributions.
Effective leaders transcend the title of "manager" or "boss". They have found a way to achieve the right combination of charisma, enthusiasm and self-assurance, probably with a healthy dose of luck and timing.
The determination of source positions before treatment is an essential part of the quality assurance (QA) associated with high dose rate brachytherapy treatments.
Because we were unable to identify a manufacturer capable of compounding both active lozenges containing more than 1 g of xylitol and indistinguishable placebo lozenges, our choice of a 5 lozenge/day regimen represents a compromise between increased assurance of achieving a therapeutic dose and practicality.
In patients with adequate knowledge, we found that educator still needed to provide assurance regarding adjustment of insulin doses and encouragement to call providers when glucose levels were not well controlled.
Owing to its proposed small size, of approximately 1 mm3, such solution could be made in-body implantable and, as such, provide a much-enhanced high-resolution, real-time dose measurement for quality assurance in radiation therapy.
The European directive 2013/59/euratom (art. 61) underlines that special attention shall be given to quality assurance programmes and the assessment of dose in medical exposure of children [9].
