A system and a method for automated setting of radiation treatment devices using a master computer (2). The method allows the physician to digitally control the patient's treatment from a master computer (2) and make rapid an d fine adjustments in multiple treatment devices (6). The multiple treatment devices (6) may be situated at the doctor's office, in which case they are connected to the master computer via a local area network (4) (LAN). Alternatively, a network (4) may be used (e.g., the public telephone switchi ng network, an intranet or the Internet) to enable the physician to send radiation therapy from a central location (e.g., a doctor's office) to PC computers or treatment devices (6) at remote sites (e,g., patients' residenc es ). In the former case, the treatment parameters and protocol are then loaded into the radiation treatment device (6) from the remote PC computer (2), allowing the patient to receive radiation at home or any other preferred location at his/her convenience.
