Practice Survey for Ocular Brachytherapy
The American Association of Physicists in Medicine
(AAPM) and the European Society for Therapeutic
Radiation Oncology (ESTRO) are collaborating on
a Task Group addressing recommendations for the
practice of ocular brachytherapy. The report of Task
Group 221 is planned to make recommendations for
both photon-emitting and beta-emitting sources
on commissioning, quality assurance, and treatment
planning, among other topics. In tandem, the Task
Group is conducting a survey to assess the current
standard of care for medical physics practices in
ocular brachytherapy. The survey is split into three
parts: (1) photon-emitting sources, (2) beta-emitting
sources, and (3) mixed-radionuclide sources. Please
only complete those sections that are relevant to
your practice, e.g., if your site only uses photonemitting sources, then you can bypass the other two
parts by selecting “no” at the appropriate question.
We expect completing any individual section of the
survey to take approximately 15 minutes and data
can be submitted anonymously.
