Physical Data relevant to the Clinical use of a Medium Sized Cobalt‐60 unit

SUMMARY The paper describes some physical measurements made prior to the therapeutic use of a medium-sized Cobalt therapy unit. A simple and speedy means of obtaining isodose distributions is indicated, as is a method for allowing for transmission through the treatment couch.
