Computer algorithm for electron beam treatment planning. 1979

F M Khan, and J M Lee

A computer algorithm has been developed for electron beam treatment planning. The method uses a limited amount of stored experimental dose distribution data, performs interpolation, and stores generated beam information on an optimized fan line-depth line grid. Experimental verification of the computer program showed agreement within +/-5% for beam generation and air gap correction.
