过去几年，法国报告了多起放射治疗事故。这是由于最近有法律义务向国家安全当局申报与使用电离辐射（包括医疗应用）相关的任何重大事件。本文介绍了放射治疗中最严重事件的原因和后果。可以从可能的技术功能障碍、人为错误或组织弱点中吸取教训，了解如何预防此类事件。这里讨论技术方面：特别是剂量测定问题。
Many accidents in radiotherapy have been reported in France over the last years. This is due to the recent legal obligation to declare to the national safety authorities any significant incident relative to the use of ionising radiation including medical applications. The causes and consequences of the most serious events in radiotherapy are presented in this paper. Lessons can be learned from possible technical dysfunctions, from human errors or organisational weaknesses as to how such events can be prevented. The technical aspects are addressed here: in particular, dosimetric issues.
