[Automation of gamma-ray teletherapy]

A system of automated control Aspect-2 was developed for automation of gamma-beam therapy on units of the Rokus series. The system consists of the following hardware and software complexes: a complex of preirradiation preparation "Centrator-imitator"; a complex Accord for anatomotopographic data coding; a software complex and a gamma-therapeutic complex Rokus-AM. The Centrator-imitator and Rokus-AM complexes are fitted out with built-in microcomputers with specially developed systemic software. The Rokus-AM complex has automatic punch tape programmed control of 9 degrees of freedom of the gamma-unit and treatment table and ensures 5 modes of irradiation: positional, rotating, rotating-convergent, sectoral rotating-convergent and scanning.
