Abstract
A method of utilizing a high-speed digital computer for the generation of accurate external beam radiotherapy dose distributions is described. Details of the system which includes corrections for non-normality of incidence and inhomogeneous tissue are given. A program has been written which incorporates all these features together with automatic calculation and true-to-scale print-out of depth doses.
