Minimum criteria and standards for linear accelerators. Draft
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7330374
Minimum guidelines developed by Missouri's Department of Social Services for linear accelerators are reported. Criteria and standards for linear accelerators were developed in order to: (1) encourage needed improvements in the provision of radiation therapy services while discouraging inappropriate proliferation of such services; (2) support efficiency in the operation of radiation therapy services without infringement upon sound medical practice; and (3) aid designated planning agencies in carrying out review and comment duties. Guidelines for small linear accelerators (4 to 10 MeV), medium linear accelerators (12 to 20 MeV), and large linear accelerators (above 20 Mev) are outlined in terms of need determination, manpower requirements, facility requirements, and economic requirements. Sources used in preparation of the guidelines conclude the report. (GRA)
