Since that time many more hospital physics departments have been established and consequently there is now a larger amount of physical information available. At present many radiotherapy departments are adding high-voltage machines to their equipment and at the same time seeking reliable physical data in the form of curves and isodose distributions.The Scientific Sub-Committee of the Association recently surveyed the data in the Scheme. Because a great deal of the material was considered obsolete and replaceable by more recent material, a new catalogue has been compiled, listing the presently available information and the sources of origin. Details of the method of ordering items of data are given in the catalogue and any material will be supplied providing it is not to be sold or reproduced for publication. The Scheme is nonprofit-making and items are sold at the minimum price necessary to cover the running costs.Copies of the catalogue may be purchased by anyone interested. For further information address the Hon. Secretary, Diagrams and Data Scheme, Physics Department, Mount Vernon Hospital, Northwood, Middlesex, England.Article HistoryPublished in print: Mar 1960 FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByPsychologische Forschung, Vol. 36, No. 1Transactions of the International Astronomical Union, Vol. 11, No. 1Recommended Articles RSNA Education Exhibits RSNA Case Collection Vol. 74, No. 3 Metrics Altmetric Score PDF download
