title: A new suite of programs for external beam radiotherapy isodose planning based on the RAD8 method.
abstract: A suite of programs is outlined which develops the ideas of the popular RAD-8-based approach to computerized RT treatment planning, but which uses real-space geometry throughout its algorithms. This, together with a higher level of modularity and complete documentation, enables other users of the software to understand the programs and adapt them to their special treatment methods. In addition, a number of new planning features are incorporated as useful options.
