[Computer-assisted irradiation planning for tumor therapy with fast neutrons at the Neutron Therapy Unit CIRCE in...

A series of programs for the 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 as well as 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 colour graph terminal. A hardcopy output by line printer is also possible.
