Predmet istraživanja ove doktorske disertacijeje osiguranje kvaliteta u radioterapiji. U okvirurada na disertaciji je sprovedena kliničkaverifikacija sistema za planiranje terapije uvedim radioterapijskim centrima u Srbiji saciljem obezbeđivanja optimalnog korišdenjaTPS i bezbedne radioterapije. Ova verifikacijapredstavlja bitan deo QA radioterapijskogprocesa, gde se nakon početne verifikacijeprikupljeni podaci koriste i za dalje periodičneprovere u okviru osiguranja kvaliteta. Daljeistraživanje je sprovedeno u ciljuimplementacije in vivo dozimetrije u kliničkupraksu kao veoma bitne procedure zaosiguranje kvaliteta čitavog radioterapijskogprocesa, od preskripcije do isporuke doze. Nataj način su određeni nivoi tolerancije/akcije zarazličite grupe pacijenata i određeneradioterapijske tehnike. Takođe, procenjena jetačnost radioterapijskog procesa na Institutu zaonkologiju Vojvodine u Sremskoj Kamenici., The subject of this dissertation is qualityassurance (QA) in radiotherapy. As part of thethesis was conducted clinical verification oftreatment planning systems (TPS) in majorradiotherapy centers in Serbia in order toensure the optimal usage of TPS and saferadiotherapy. This TPS verification is animportant part of radiotherapy QA process,where after an initial verification of the datacollected and then used for further periodicchecks as part of quality assurance. Furtherresearch was conducted in order to implementin vivo dosimetry in clinical practice as a veryimportant procedure for quality assurance ofthe entire radiotherapy process, fromprescription to dose delivery. In this way,tolerance/actions levels for different groups ofpatients and specific radiation technique weredetermined. Also, the accuracy of theradiotherapy process at the Institute ofoncology of Vojvodina in Sremska Kamenicawas estimated.
