Abstract
A series of programs for irradiation planning in tumor therapy with fast neutrons is presented. With these programs it is possible to calculate the dose distribution of single and multiple field and of uni- and biaxial rotating irradiations. The programs consider the patient''s contour and calculate the total dose, the .gamma. dose and the .gamma./total dose ratio. The output of the calculated dose distributions is made on a color graph terminal. A hard copy output by line printer is also possible.
