In radiation therapy, external beams of ionising radiation are used in empirical cross fire configurations to produce distributions of absorbed energy in living tissues. For a given configuration to be useful, certain conditions have to be satisfied. The present program applies to rectangular beams
An on-line data acquisition system for external beam treatment planning has been developed. The hardware consists of a Tektronix 4054 Computer, an SHM Nuclear 3-D scanning water phantom, interfaces for 16 channels of ADC and 32 channels of digital I/O, and two detector probes for measuring dose dist
