title: PCDOSE: an interactive software system to calculate internal radiation dose on a personal computer.
abstract: An interactive, menu directed, software system to calculate committed dose equivalents for individuals with different physiques after inhalation, ingestion or injection of radionuclides has been developed. The calculations are based on ICRP 26/30 methods. The programs are written in PASCAL and can be implemented on a personal computer with a MS-DOS operating system and a hard disk with a storage capacity of at least 20 Mb. This paper describes the development and features of the system.
