Iridium Kankernetwerk is a busy oncology department that provides about 5600 radiation-therapy treatments per year across four locations in Belgium. The department was looking to optimize its quality-assurance programme through standardization and automation. In addition, the team wanted to develop an in vivo monitoring programme that would both improve patient safety and meet evolving requirements for radiation treatments.

The solution of choice is SunCHECK™ Patient from Sun Nuclear. In addition to meeting its departmental goals, SunCHECK has allowed the team to continue reviewing patient plans and performing quality-assurance remotely during these challenging times.

Watch this webinar to hear Evy Bossuyt, a medical physicist at Iridium Kankernetwerk, share her and the team’s experiences.

The webinar includes details of

• Automation and transit dosimetry: implementing a standardized transit-dosimetry solution in a busy radiation-therapy department;
• Error detection: using automation and standardization to streamline pre-treatment quality assurance and using in vivo dosimetry to enhance error detection; and
• Clinical insights: initial experiences from an in vivo programme and insights into possible actions for adaptive planning.

Evy Bossuyt is a medical physicist at Iridium Kankernetwerk. Iridium Kankernetwerk includes several hospitals in the Antwerp region of Belgium (including GZA hospital group, ZNA hospital group, UZA, AZ KLINA, AZ Nikolaas, AZ Monica, and AZ St Jozef), with 11 linear accelerators in total. The network includes a staff of 14 medical physicists and five physics assistants, and provides about 5600 radiation-therapy treatments each year.
