Résumé
Quality assurance (QA) is important for ensuring precision in radiation therapy. The complexity and resource-intensive nature of QA has increased with the continual evolution of equipment and techniques. An effective approach is to improve the process control technology and resource optimization. Statistical process control is an economical and efficient tool that has been widely used to monitor, control, and improve quality management processes and is now being increasingly used for radiation therapy QA. This article reviews the development and methodology of statistical process control technology, evaluates its suitability in radiation therapy QA practices, and assesses its importance and challenges in optimizing radiation therapy QA processes.
