Part of a text about radiotherapy in general. What does Handtabelle mean here?
Während der Medizinphysik-Experte (MPE) in der Hochvolttherapie auf standardisierte Rechnungen mit Handtabellen, in der Regel aber leistungsfähige Therapieplanungssysteme zurückgreifen kann, stehen ihm diese Möglichkeiten zur erstellung von physikalischen Therapieplänen in der Röntgentherapi nicht zur Verfügung.

reference table
The only example I've found so far relates to paleontology. I imagine it as a piece of laminated card or something like that - not a whole instruction manual.

: "reference manual" is doubtful, it is certainly not a "service manual"

I did an image search of Handtabelle and came up with this:

It appears its just translated as “table” in English.
Discussion
Da der MPE bei der Erstellung des physikalischen Bestrahlungsplanes nicht auf ein Therapieplanungssystem zurückgreifen kann, benötigt er Tabellen, die eine Handrechnung ermöglichen.

A comparison of the monitor unit calculations of a commercial 3D computerized treatment planning system (TPS) with "hand" calculations from lookup tables was made for a large number of clinical cases
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12383049/
The need for and value of such a verification was obvious when calculations were performed by hand using look-up tables, and the verification was achieved by a second person independently repeating the calculation.

It is a kind of a guide
