An efficient patient data entry system for a busy computer.

Abstract

The authors describe an independent minicomputer consisting of a CRT and a cassette unit which was designed to store patient data and interact with the main computer at a convenient time. This system permits the computer to handle data entry and treatment planning functions simultaneously. The layout of the overall system, the function of the program and a time analysis of the system are discussed.

A beta spectrometer for monitoring environmental matrices.

In environmental matrices, pure beta emitters are often present with other beta-gamma emitters. This work describes a beta spectrometer that allows measurement of pure beta-emitter activities of about 10(-2) Bq. The detection system consists of a plastic scintillator surrounded in a 4 pi geometry by large anticoincidence NaI(Tl) scintillators. Solid, liquid, and gaseous samples can be analyzed, and no chemical separation is necessary. The system is particularly useful for 90Sr measurement.
