✦ Synopsis

A system for detailed documentation of external beam radiation therapy is described. A new, more detailed treatment record form has been designed. From this form, selected data is key-punched immediately after conclusion of the treatment series. These transactions update a register, resident on a drum memory, in a daily routine, which also prints out a brief treatment report for each individual in the transaction file.

Each month, concluded treatments are transferred from the drum to magnetic tape, thus keeping the current register at a constant size.

From the register, short form listings of selected variables as well as more specialised statistics on quality of dataacquisition and work load on each treatment unit is obtained.

On request, complete treatment reports and statistics on selected patients and/or treatment techniques can be generated.
