title: ESHO quality assurance guidelines for regional hyperthermia.
abstract: The Technical Committee and the Clinical Committee of the ESHO evaluated the experience of the institutes which are active in clinical regional hyperthermia using radiative equipment. Based on this evaluation, QA guidelines have been formulated. The focus of these guidelines lies on what must be done not on how it should be done. Subjects covered are: treatment planning, treatment, treatment documentation, requirements and characterization of equipment, safety aspects, hyperthermia staff requirements and instrumentation for quality assurance.
