    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Radiation Oncology

    Context:

    • Radiation therapy planning requires efficient and accurate treatment schedules.
    • Megavoltage X-radiation from linear accelerators is a standard modality.

    Purpose:

    • To develop practical and clearly arranged treatment schedules for radiation therapists.
    • To simplify the calculation of irradiation duration based on fixed focal doses.

    Summary:

    • Developed treatment schedules based on data from Philips SL 75/10 linear accelerator.
    • Utilized fixed focal dose (250 R/session) for easy calculation of treatment days.
    • Classified field sizes and used a constant focus-skin distance (90 cm) for standardized tables.
    • Summarized two-year experiences and operational controls in diagrams.
