title: A method for improving the output dose rate protocols for cobalt machines.
abstract: A method of correcting the output dose rate of the radiotherapeutic cobald units is presented. This method links measurements values with the decay formula for increasing the accuracy of output dose rate determining. The least squares method has been applied to mathematical processing of the data. Results were discussed on the record of output dose rate which had been measured since 1969.
