A review of the first year's clinical work on the M.R.C. 8 MeV linear accelerator is given. The biological efficiency of pulsed 8 MeV X rays is discussed. The absorption in tissue of 250 kV and 8 MeV X rays is compared and the clinical applications of megavoltage therapy surveyed. The planning techniques employed and field arrangements used for the 257 patients treated in the year's work are described.
