title: Using a pocket computer to calculate monitor units--outline of a program in BASIC.
abstract: A pocket computer was programmed in BASIC to calculate monitor units for a dual energy linear accelerator. Because of the relatively large RAM memory, it was possible to input the TMR (or the PDD) tables for both energies as DATA. The program was written with the intention of providing a back-up check of the hand calculations.
