Abstrakt: A long-standing radiotherapy problem was that concerning the administration of the correct dose to a tumour without injury to the surrounding tissues. The elaboration of a suitable computer program such as the EXTDOS program of van de Geijn, appeared to help solve the problem and it raised the idea to create a country-wide computerized treatment planning network system relying upon a single big computer. Such a system now exists controlled from the National Institute of Oncology in Budapest which is in permanent telephone connection with a Honeywell-Bull computer; the other radiotherapy centres possessing cobalt units are also linked to the computer. A point of particular importance is that the system covers a population of ten million, representing a treatment group with an identical dose measurement and evaluation method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
