CAPCA Quality Control Standards
Standards for Quality Control at Canadian Radiation Treatment Centres

On this page you will find both approved and draft Standards for Quality Control at Canadian Radiation Treatment Centres. These standards have been under development since 2003 with the project involving considerable effort by many members of the Canadian Medical Physics community. As of September 2007, twelve standards have been revised in the light of comments received and approved by both the Task Group and the Canadian Organization of Medical Physicists. As drafts continue to become available we ask that you take the time to review these documents and make suggestions for improvement to the individual identified in each document as the Primary Task Group Reviewer. This request is becoming more urgent as the newer drafts are entering uncharted waters in which there are little mature literature and experience upon which to base the proposed standards. Specific recommendations for changes are more helpful than vague comments or criticisms. Of course, if you think the documents are fine as they are we would like to hear that too. In the light of the comments received a further review of the documents still in draft form will be undertaken by the Task Group.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Task Group Members: Clement Arsenault, Craig Becket, Jean-Pierre Bissonnette,
Peter Dunscombe (Chair), George Mawko, Jan Seuntjens
