title: [Computer in radiation oncology: a review].
abstract: In radiation oncology the computer has its confirmed importance for many activities and now appears indispensable. Many applications in treatment planning and during treatment are only possible with its support. The most important applications of the computer in a radiation oncology centre are reviewed. A computer-network of the different subsystems involves advantages and improves work flow security. Two future applications under development are presented: dynamic treatment, and inverse treatment planning. Treatment of the individual patient is a matter of co-decision by all concerned. The computer is an auxiliary resource which offers greater facility, increases safety and improves accuracy.
