The authors describe the equipment and methods of calculation used for a system of automatic conversational dosimetry with a mini-computer. They present the dialogue of the physician with the calculator and indicate the conditions they required of such a system: i.e. rapidity of response, simplicity of use, verification of data, precision, adaptability. Testing involved 800 dosimetric cases including 300 cases of routine clinical dosimetry.
