Between 1 March and 30 April (1994) we recorded the errors detected by the physician, the radiographer or the physicist during prescription, preparation and execution phases of 227 treatment plans. The radiation treatment modalities used were the following: (i) single or opposed fields, moulded or not; and (ii) multiple fields or kinetic techniques. The total number of sessions performed is 1613 with the cobalt unit and 2131 with the linear accelerator (total, 3744). The total number of wrong data is 155, consisting of 24/227 (10.5%) in compilation, 22/3744 (0.58%) in execution and 109/3744 (2.9%) in registration phases. The number of missing data is 140, consisting of 10/227 (4.4%) in compilation, 9/3744 (0.2%) in execution and 121/3744 (3.2%) in registration phases. Wrong data of compilation, even if in high rate (10.5%), were all found during the same compilation phase or at the first treatment, so that they did not alter the exactness of the treatment plan. Wrong and missing data, found in the registration phase (2.9% and 3.2%, respectively), depend on the repetition of daily treatment and on the registration of data on the chart after having digitized them on the display.
