[Using computer for radiotherapy planning].
Our Computer system linked with CT has been found to be very useful for radiotherapy treatment planning. We apply this system to treatment planning of about one half of the total cases of external beam radiotherapy and of all cases of brachytherapy. In the field of computer aided automation of radiotherapy treatment, we estimate automatic verification of treatment parameters and automatic recording of them are practically useful in routine radiotherapy. Conformation Radiotherapy can be realized to be practical when digital computer and CT are employed. On the basis of 300 cases of our clinical experiences of computer controlled conformation radiotherapy, the indication of conformation radiotherapy and clinical significance are described in this paper.
