Brief description/objective

It was the aim of the Tomotherapy dosimetry intercomparison of the year 2016 to check the absolute dosimetry. The cheese phantom setup, as established in the 2014 dosimetry intercomparison, was applied (Schiefer H, Buchauer K, Heinze S, Henke G, Plasswilm L, “Design and implementation of a "cheese" phantom-based Tomotherapy TLD dose intercomparison”, Strahlenther Onkol. 2015 Nov; 191(11):855-861. Epub 2015 Jun 19). All five Tomotherapy sites in Switzerland participated in the intercomparison. All dose point evaluations except two single TLD measurements led to a good result. All results are at minimum satisfactory.
