The design of a microcomputer system for the reduction of mistakes in radiotherapy is described. The system covers prescription entry, prescription and treatment calculations, and verification and recording of the treatment set-up. A telecobalt unit was interfaced to the system and in the first 12 months 400 patients have been prescribed and 5000 treatment fields verified. The prescription is entered by the medical officer using an interactive program and this prescription provides the reference for verifying the treatment set-up. The program allows amendments to the prescription to be made easily during the treatment course. The treatment parameters verified are field size, wedge and treatment time. The system uses bar-codes for patient and field identification. A reduction in the number of mistakes has been achieved and future developments are discussed.
描述了一种用于减少放射治疗错误的微型计算机系统的设计。该系统涵盖处方录入、处方和治疗计算，以及治疗设置的验证和记录。一台远距钴治疗机与该系统相连接，在最初的12个月里，已为400名患者开了处方，并对5000个治疗野进行了验证。处方由医务人员使用交互式程序录入，该处方为验证治疗设置提供参考。该程序允许在治疗过程中轻松修改处方。验证的治疗参数包括野大小、楔形板和治疗时间。该系统使用条形码进行患者和野的识别。已实现错误数量的减少，并讨论了未来的发展。
