RADIATION FIELD MODELING AND COMPUTERIZED TREATMENT PLANNING

这是正在进行的研究和开发。 计算能力 光子束和电子产生的吸收剂量分布 梁的最一般的特点是根本， 放疗 辐射场模型之前已经描述过。 它 以经验分布为基础，沿着三个相互 在“主字段”中的垂直参考线。“这一概念是 也适用于光束修正装置。 其中一个好处是 方法是它需要很少的实验数据，因此可以 非常容易实现。 我们的光子束治疗计划在一个 Macintosh II系统仍在继续。 该项目已接近完成 用于光子束;一个广泛的手册与几个层次的用户 已经编写了指南。 一般做法，特别是许多 “工具”将直接适用于其他应用程序，包括 单克隆抗体剂量测定和成像。

This is ongoing research and development. The capability to calculate the distribution of absorbed dose produced by photon beams and electron beams to the most general characteristics is fundamental to radiotherapy. The radiation field model has been described before. It takes as a basis the empirical distributions along three mutually perpendicular reference lines in a "master field." This concept is applied to the beam-modifying devices as well. One virtue of this approach is that it requires few experimental data and thus can be implemented very easily. The implementation of our photon beam treatment planning programs on a Macintosh II system is continuing. The project is nearing completion for photon beams; an extensive manual with several levels of user guidance has been prepared. The general approach, in particular many "tools" will be directly applicable to other applications, including monoclonal antibodies dosimetry and imaging.
