Identification of the principles and concepts of the team approach to quality assurance. Includes spot checking techniques of patient records, room conditions, accessory checks, patient communication devices, and treatment equipment. Continuation of J404 with emphasis on quality control checks for linear accelerators, cobalt-60 units, film, and brachytherapy inventory. Topics include dose time, fractionation, repair, tumor kinetics, hyperthermia, and radiation protection. Individual research in radiation oncology.
Research proposal requires the approval of the program director.
