Creating a Spread sheet for Calculating Therapeutic Radiation Doses Delivered by Electron and Photon Beams of Varied Intensities

Abstract

The main concern and goal for oncologists and physicists in cancer treatments is accurate radiation therapy, dosage calculation, and quality control. Where Treatment Planning Systems (TPS) are not accessible, the global usage of Radiation Therapy Machines such as 60 Co and LINAC (Old) necessitates an accurate and quick External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) machine dose evaluation. A medical physicist or dosimeters are not always available at cancer treatment centers. For this, we created the "Mithu" spreadsheet, which allows Radiation Oncologists, Physicists, and Radiotherapy Technologists to easily calculate Treatment Time (TT) or Monitor Unit (MU) using simple Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.
