Abstract
The goal was to develop and evaluate a modular system for measurement of the work times required by the various professional groups involved in radiation oncology before, during, and after serial radiation treatment (long-term irradiation with 25–28 fractions of 1.8 Gy) based on the example of rectal cancer treatment.Keywords
