An interactive program for prescribing radiotherapy treatments has been developed with the aim of improving radiation dose accuracy by preventing mistakes in quantitative data handling and calculations. The program also aims to decrease the time required to prescribe treatments and check the calculations. The interactive dialogue closely follows present, manual methods of prescription. The program provides a comprehensive choice of treatment options which either individually or in combination cover all the treatments carried out on the Cobalt units for which the program was designed. Each of the treatment options has been highly optimized to reduce the amount of data entered and for ease of use. The program allows changes to the prescription at time of entry and during the treatment course. The treatment sheet and patient record resulting from the interactive dialogue are discussed and compared with the existing system. The modular program structure is described and some of the results from use of the program are discussed. Possible future improvements are outlined.
已经开发了一个用于放射治疗处方的交互式程序，目的是通过防止定量数据处理和计算中的错误来提高辐射剂量准确性。该程序还旨在减少处方治疗和检查计算所需的时间。交互式对话紧密遵循当前的手动处方方法。该程序提供了全面的治疗选项选择，这些选项单独或组合涵盖了为其设计该程序的钴治疗机所进行的所有治疗。每个治疗选项都经过了高度优化，以减少输入的数据量并便于使用。该程序允许在输入时和治疗过程中更改处方。讨论了交互式对话产生的治疗单和患者记录，并与现有系统进行了比较。描述了模块化程序结构，并讨论了该程序使用的一些结果。概述了未来可能的改进。
