Analysis of quality control test results of medical electron linear accelerators in Guangxi Province 2017—2019

Abstract

Objective To understand the level of quality control in medical linear accelerator in Guangxi, and to provide technical support for the health administrative department to make related standards.

Methods To select medical linear accelerators in Guangxi by random sampling method.

Results A total of 118 accelerators were checked in 2017—2019, the initial inspection pass rates of medical linear accelerators were 56.8% and re-inspect pass rate were 96.6%.

Conclusion The quality control level of the radiology institutions needs to be improved. The health administrative department should strengthen routine management, it is necessary to implement quality control in medical linear accelerator.

摘要： 目的 了解广西省医用电子直线加速器设备性能的质量控制水平, 为卫生行政部门研宄制定医用电子直线加 速器卫生标准和质量控制检测规范提供技术支持。 方法 采用随机抽样方法, 对广西省部分医用电子直线加速器进 行质控检测。 结果 2017—2019 年累计检测 118 台次加速器, 加速器质控检测(包括 X 射线和电子束)总初检合格率 为 56.8%, 总复检合格率为 96.6%; 二级、三级医院加速器质控检测初检合格率分别为 32.0%、62.2%, 差异有统计学意 义 ( P < 0.05), 初检合格率最低的指标是辐射剂量示值误差, 其次是辐射野均整度。 结论 广西省医用电子直线加速器 质量控制水平有待提高;卫生行政部门应进一步加强对加速器质控检测的监督, 定期开展加速器质控检测。
