A Fortran program for fast and compact processing of clinical radiotherapy data

A set of Fortran IV programs have been developed to enable a patient registry to operate on a minicomputer of a type frequently used for treatment planning within radiotherapy departments. The system is both comprehensive and flexible, allowing the efficient storage of clinical data in the form of coded units. The coding format used enables inexperienced operators to enter, or extract data from the system with the minimum of keyboard operations.
