AN ICRU-50 RADIOTHERAPY TREATMENT CHART

We illustrate a radiotherapy treatment chart elaborated to fulfil the necessity for clarity in reporting information about radiotherapeutic treatment. The schematic configuration of the chart results from the e xperience and the cooperation of physicists, physicians and technician s, and an effort has been made to satisfy Levels 2/3 of the ICRU 50 re commendations. The chart has been divided into four sections correspon ding to different kinds of information: a cover sheet, a section conta ining data about the treatment planning geometry and the console param eters adopted, a section showing dosimetric data, and a section showin g treatment data. The chart seems to give a good level of accuracy in reporting treatment plan information.
