“…Air kerma based codes of practice (further denoted as air kerma CoP) have been developed by all major organizations of radiotherapy physicists and have resulted in air kerma CoPs such as AAPM TG-21 (Schulz et al 1983), IAEA TRS-277 (Andreo et al 1987), NCS report-5 (Wittkämper et al 1989) and IAEA TRS-381 (Almond et al 1997). The latter CoP also introduced the concept of absorbed dose based dosimetry and was followed by AAPM TG-51 (Almond et al 1999) and IAEA TRS-398 (Andreo et al 2000).…”

“…External dosimetry audits are powerful quality assurance instruments for radiotherapy departments, allowing detection of potential systematic measurement errors [1,2]. In 2008 the Netherlands Commission on Radiation Dosimetry (NCS) issued a new Code of Practice (CoP) for high-energy photon and electron beams, NCS-18 [3], replacing the air-kerma based CoPs [4,5], based on the IAEA TRS-398 [6]. It focused on methods and equipment used in Belgium and the Netherlands.…”
