Abstract
The development of computerized transaxial tomography has opened up new possibilities in radiotherapy, where a knowledge of cross sectional anatomy is of importance for treatment planning. Work has already been done in this context by Chernak et al. (1975). A technique for determining body cross sections for radiotherapy purposes based on Compton scattering has also been described by Farmer and Collins (1974).Keywords
