Between June 1985 and January 1987, the Therac-25 medical electron accelerator was involved in six massive radiation overdoses. As a result, several people died and others were seriously injured. A detailed investigation of the factors involved in the software-related overdoses and attempts by users, manufacturers, and government agencies to deal with the accidents is presented. The authors

The Therac-25 is a computer-controlled radiation therapy machine produced by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) in 1982 after the Therac-6 and Therac-20 units (the earlier units had been produced in partnership with Compagnie générale de radiologie (CGR) of France). [1]The Therac-25 was involved in at least six accidents between 1985 and 1987, in which some patients were given massive

The Therac-25 was a radiation therapy machine that began being produced byAtomic Energy Canada Limited (AECL) in 1982. It stood out from other machines ofits kind at the time due to its two treatment modes: electron-beam therapy, a low-dose beam of electrons for shallow cancer treatment, and megavolt X-ray therapy, a high-dose beam of photons
