Abstract
When compiling the present atlas our aim has been to provide the practising radiotherapist with a handbook which would help him to plan the radiation therapy of tumours of individual organs. Apart from a few exceptions, all isodose charts in this atlas show dose distributions resulting from external irradiation. Combination of external irradiation with intracavitary radium therapy is presented in the treatment of carcinoma of the uterine cervix, in which case the two techniques are complementary.
