An ICRU 50 radiotherapy treatment chart.
We illustrate a radiotherapy treatment chart elaborated to fulfil the necessity for clarity in reporting information about radiotherapeutic treatment. The schematic configuration of the chart results from the experience and the cooperation of physicists, physicians and technicians, and an effort has been made to satisfy Levels 2/3 of the ICRU 50 recommendations. The chart has been divided into four sections corresponding to different kinds of information: a cover sheet, a section containing data about the treatment planning geometry and the console parameters adopted, a section showing dosimetric data, and a section showing treatment data. The chart seems to give a good level of accuracy in reporting treatment plan information.
