Introduction: Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) provide two- and three-dimensional planar and volumetric cone beam images to improve the accuracy of radiation treatment delivery. Periodic quality assurance (QA) of EPIDs is essential for dosimetric verification in radiotherapy. In this study, a QA program was implemented to evaluate the function of the EPID to be confident in applying co...

Introduction Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) provides the means for improved treatment for a wide variety of cancers. Piggybacked onto 3DCRT and MLC technologies, IMRT has developed quickly, but will undoubtedly see improvements in core hardware and software as well as in peripheral applications such as record and verify, gating, etc. At the core, individual treatment centers shoul...

In this article, the authors report on the development and testing of a set of indicators of quality of care in nursing homes, using resident-level assessment data. These quality indicators (QIs) have been developed to provide a foundation for both external and internal quality-assurance (QA) and quality-improvement activities. The authors describe the development of the QIs, discuss their natu...

The quality assurance (QA) requirements (i.e., test procedure, acceptance criteria, and testing schedule) for fludeoxyglucose (18)F ((18)F-FDG) injection listed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP); the draft Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); and the European Pharmacopeia (EP) were compared. The FDA Modernization Act of 1997 requires t...
