Abstract :
The computer requirements of a Department of Radiotherapy are indicated. A computer system is being developed which will meet these requirements. The system presently incorporates both an on-line tumor registry and an interactive, graphicallyoriented, treatment-planning capability. The system uses a dedicated PDP 11 computer. With this system the radiotherapist will query the registry for plans associated with maximum success in similar cases. He will then interactively adapt this plan to the needs of a specific patient.
