Employment of a computer EC 1010 to calculate dosimetric parameters of irradiation procedures during #betta#-beam therapy

A small-size computer EC 1010 is proposed for the calculation of dosimetric parameters of irradiation procedures on #betta#-beam therapeutic units. A specially designed program is intended for the calculation of dosimetric parameters for different methods of moving and static irradiation taking into account tissue heterogeneity: multified static irradiation, multizone rotation irradiation, irradiation using dose field forming devices (V-shaped filters, edge blocks, a grid diaphragm). The computation of output parameters according to each preset program of irradiation takes no more than 1 min. The use of the computer EC 1010 for the calculation of dosimetric parameters of irradiation procedures gives an opportunity to reduce considerably calculation time, to avoid possible errors and to simplify the drawing up of documents
