Set the total (delivered) absorbed dose (TAD=)
SDRX: keyword (or sample input files)


Syntax:
    RADX: TAD={total delivered absorbed dose (Gy)}
Example:
    RADX: TAD=20       !Two 10 Gy fractions
    RADX: TAD=DD1    !Pointer to an array of dose values (fraction size = 0.5*TAD)
    DD1=0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 / 
!Array of dose values (Gy)


Purpose: Set the total absorbed dose delivered in both fractions.
Data Type:
real
Unit:
Gy
Default: none
Comments:  Both fractions are delivered at the same dose rate. To gain more control over dose fraction delivery, use the RADX: keyword.  With the RADX: keyword, multiple fractions of different sizes can be specified and a different dose rate can be used to deliver each fraction.  The fraction size is 1/2 the total delivered dose (TAD).
