| Abstract: | The treatment planning of total body irradiations shows partially other problems than conventional treatments. The data refer to long source-skin-distance and large fields, which are even larger than the patient. In most centres, it is aspired to a homogeneous dose distribution. But its importance is not known, at present. The radiobiology has to yield further answers to a lot of questions. This and the clinical results must help to decide, which technique is the best to eliminate leukemic cells and to avoid side effects as interstitial pneumonia. |
