Empirical computation of absorbed radiation in medium like human body and graphical representation of dose distribution

Abstract

Computers, in radiotherapy, are now widely used for calculating and displaying dose distributions for optimum therapy planning. There are lots of hardware options and commercial programs, which were developed outside Turkey, available in the market. In this study, we propose a system, which can be used with a conventional PCs running with Windows NT operating system. Our first clinical tests show that this system is very efficient and suitable for clinical requirements. Also in future developments of the software is very easy.
