Resources and productivity in radiation oncology in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden during 1987
Data concerning megavoltage equipment and use of megavoltage external beams in cancer management during 1987 in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden were collected from all 37 centres serving a population of 23 million in these countries.
