Abstract
Treatment planning for radiotherapy may be carried out using digital computer. A program has been written with great generality to enable a wide range of fixed field and rotational treatment plans to be carried out. The procedure has been designed with a view to ease of operation and to produce an output on a line-printer which is immediately interpretable without any further calculations or graph plotting. Possible developments of the scheme are discussed.Keywords
