Use of a programmable pocket calculator in radiotherapy treatment planning. 1979

F H Edwards, and C W Coffey

Software packages for a programmable pocket calculator have been developed for use in dosimetry. Using a field equation and a mathematical model of the beam profile, one can find the dose delivered to any point within the irradiated volume. Use of these programs for simple field calculations allows the radiologist to concentrate on more complex treatment plans.
