title: [International survey of the status of dosimetry for controlling quality assurance in radiotherapy (WHO)].
abstract: The results of an IAEA/WHO 14-year survey on the precision of irradiation at a preset dose (2 Gy) in radiotherapy departments in different countries have shown that nearly in 40% of cases deviations from a preset dose exceeded the tolerant rate (+/- 5%). A conclusion has been made of the necessity to develop a program of quality guarantee in radiotherapy at national and international levels.
