Abstract

Developments in technology within radiation therapy have the potential to increase treatment accuracy and improve patient outcomes. However, the introduction of new technology can impact front line users (e.g. radiation therapists) and patients undergoing treatment. Successful implementation of new technologies therefore requires input from all stakeholders in order to develop standardized protocols and assess staff training needs. This study evaluates the clinical impact of implementing an in vivo electronic portal imaging device (EPID) quality assurance system, developed by medical physicists at the Odette Cancer Centre, into the treatment delivery workflow for head and neck cancer (HNC) patients.
