Abstract
A system using an Elliott 803 computer with magnetic film backing store was designed to perform calculations in three dimensions in intracavitary and interstitial radiation dosimetry. This system was developed from the experience gained in using another program for three years. The system is in modular form; each individual program performs a different stage of the calculation. These programs are stored on the magnetic film and are so arranged that they can be altered or replaced without having to rewrite the whole system. Programs are included to carry out calculations for point sources, line sources and linear filtered sources. The system has been designed either to carry out simple routine calculations or to incorporate various correction factors. The system also provides facilities to plan the supplementary external beam treatment for patients who have already had intracavitary treatment.
