This paper outlines the guidelines for the development of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in the UK. The guidelines are designed to cover the complete implementation of IMRT, with guidelines in the following categories: commissioning, quality, clinical, audit, and training and education. These guidelines have been compiled by the Radiotherapy Development Board of the Royal College of Radiologists and will support the safe application of IMRT in the UK.
