Cobalt-60 adalah instrumen radioterapi yang digunakan untuk mematikan sel tumor maupun kanker pada pasien. Untuk menjamin kualitas instrumen Cobalt, diperlukan QA (Quality Assurance) dan untuk membuktikan adanya jaminan kualitas perlu QC (Quality Control). Hal ini dilakukan bertujuan untuk memeriksa dan menguji data untuk menentukan standar dan mengecek kesesuaian produk mencapai operasi manufaktur yang maksimum atau ukuran yang diambil yaitu untuk menilai, merawat atau memperbaiki kualitas perlakuan yang diberikan. Program QA harus didasarkan pada penyelidikan menyeluruh untuk standar awal pada saat penerimaan dan commissioning peralatan untuk penggunaan klinis (AAPM, 1993a). International Electrotechnical Cornmission (IEC, 1989a, b), American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM, 1984,1993a), dan American College of Medical Physics (ACMP, 1986) menjelaskan prosedur dan kondisi untuk tes penerimaan. Salah satu rangkaian QA QC adalah kalibrasi meliputi kalibrasi harian, mingguan, bulanan dan tahunan. Kalibrasi harian, mingguan dan bulanan dilakukan oleh fisikawan medis dengan dibantu radiografer, sedangkan kalibrasi tahunan dilakukan oleh pihak BATAN.

The Quality Control (QC) system, based on simple, cheap equipment and minimum personnel time, enables a resource-limited facility and staff to control the fundamental components of the imaging process on a low cost basis. Quality Assurance (QA) is a product or service quality management program. Customer reviews, capacity building and quality control can also be included. Quality control requires specific measures for ensuring measurable process-related aspects of product output or for the delivery of services within a given limit. Research was conducted at the Medical Physics Department of Red Sea University. The main objective of this work was to boost quality assurance rays. The imagination is more user-friendly and produces better results than a person or object. Phantoms, including fluoroscopy or x-rays, and certain image quality measurements have been used in x-rays imaging. The manufactured phantom in this study showed high precision in different QC tests.

Work Up

Summary:This guideline is a prerequisite for the quality management in the treatment of non-Hodgkin-lymphomas using radioimmunotherapy. It is based on an interdisciplinary consensus and contains background information and definitions as well as specified indications and detailed contraindications of treatment. Essential topics are the requirements for institutions performing the therapy. For instance, presence of an expert for medical physics, intense cooperation with all colleagues committed to treatment of lymphomas, and a certificate of instruction in radiochemical labelling and quality control are required. Furthermore, it is specified which patient data have to be available prior to performance of therapy and how the treatment has to be carried out technically. Here, quality control and documentation of labelling are of greatest importance. After treatment, clinical quality control is mandatory (work-up of therapy data and follow-up of patients). Essential elements of follow-up are specified in detail. The complete treatment inclusive after-care has to be realised in close cooperation with those colleagues (haematology-oncology) who propose, in general, radioimmunotherapy under consideration of the development of the disease.
