The Ellis formula

Creators

Description

With regard to Ellis's now famous formula: it is fair to say that the indices are a bit off-putting to the average radiotherapy practitioner, while the notion of a "single dose equivalent", be it true or false, is at least mildly attractive. The calculation is tedious. You can buy a special slide rule if you like.
