Abstract
The main objective of radiotherapy is to deliver to the tumor the radiation dose prescribed by the physician, in the most possible accurate form, to save, as much as possible, the healthy tissues located in the neighborhood of the tumor. In order to reach these objectives, it is necessary to carry out a treatment planning and the more the used technologies and therapeutical procedures are sophisticated, the more the planning will be sophisticated. The most sophisticated planning systems use computer programs and are able to determine dose distributions in three dimensions. However, since they work using mathematical models, they may fail and it is necessary to evaluate their performances in order to be considered reliable. Therefore, the availability of a system capable to evaluate the performance of planning systems employed in oncological teletherapy, using ionizing radiation, becomes important. In this work, a data file to be used in radiotherapy planning system quality control (Algorithm accuracy and dose distribution) was developed and it is able to be sent by mail to the radiotherapy services that work with photon beams.
