From 3rd symposium on sharing of computer programs and technology in nuclear medicine; Miami, Florida, USA (16 Jun 1973). In proceedings of third symposium on sharing of computer programs and technology in nuclear medicine. Interactive computer programs can relieve the nuclear medicine physician of the tedious computations required by absorbed dose calculations, yet allow him to remain in full control of the calculation process. The requirements for developing such software are discussed, and an example computer program, written in the BASIC language, is included. (auth)
