Henri Coutard was a prominent French roentgen therapist (radiation therapist). He was a pioneer physician and scientist who established the development of the "protracted-fractional method" of radiation dosing. He treated laryngeal cancer with super-voltage x-rays and also published data on five-year survival rates while his contemporary physicians indulged in treating cancer with radioactive sources. Due to his significant contribution regarding the use of fractionated dose regimens to treat cancer, in today's world most of the tumors are treated using the same principle which is in itself a great achievement in the field of radiation oncology. Due to his work, present-day radiotherapy practice is focused on therapeutic ratios to treat cancer.
亨利·库塔德是一位杰出的法国放射治疗师。他是一位开创性的医生和科学家，确立了放射剂量“延长分割法”的发展。他用超高压X射线治疗喉癌，还发表了五年生存率的数据，而他同时代的医生还沉迷于用放射源治疗癌症。由于他在使用分次剂量方案治疗癌症方面的重大贡献，当今世界上大多数肿瘤都是按照同样的原则进行治疗的，这本身就是放射肿瘤学领域的一项巨大成就。由于他的工作，当今的放射治疗实践专注于治疗癌症的治疗比率。
