[A catalog of computer programs for dosimetric irradiation planning].

A catalogue of computer-based programmes for dosimetric irradiation planning is described, that was elaborated according to the programme of the joint research of the CMEA-countries on field of radiotherapy of malignant tumors in the years 1983-1985. The catalogue includes 55 programmes from 11 research-centres in Hungary, the GDR, Poland, the USSR, and the CSSR: 23 programmes are determined for dosimetric planning of distant irradiation, 13 for intracavitary, 7 for interstitial, 6 for combined irradiation, and 6 for radiobiological planning. 26 programmes are used to optimize the dose fields by selection of adequate irradiation conditions. The catalogue includes 42 tables, which in details inform on possibilities of the programmes, on radiotherapeutic equipments, which were these programmes elaborated for, and on their clinical use. The problem is discussed to procure the catalogue.
