Commissioning the precommissioned: Navigating risks and realities in modern radiotherapy
Dirk Verellen, Belgium;
Geert De Kerf, Belgium
The session provides a comprehensive overview of how vendor‑-provided technologies in radiotherapy can be safely introduced and maintained in clinical practice. It discusses key challenges and opportunities related to linear accelerators, treatment planning systems, patient‑-specific QA measurement solutions and AI‑-based tools. Attention is given to vendor‑-provided commissioning and pre‑-configured systems, the role of long‑-term QA data, and the need for independent and risk‑-based validation. By highlighting continuous quality improvement, sensitivity to clinical complexity and lifecycle management, the session illustrates practical approaches to safeguarding patient safety in increasingly automated radiotherapy workflows.
