Treatment Planning by Computer


D.J. Savage

Abstract

From measurements of central axis depth-dose data for fields of various sizes at various source-surface distances, tables were drawn up giving the depth-dose data expressed for position on a polar co-ordinate grid. These data have been permanently stored in the memory system of a computer. The computer has been programmed to use the data for dose planning for fixed- and movingbeam isocentric teletherapy.
