Total body irradiation with translation method
Radiother Oncol.

Abstract
Total body irradiation (TBI) using translation method has been applied in 20 patients prior to bone marrow transplantation (BMT). This paper describes the technique of irradiation as well as the results of in vivo dosimetry in patients undergoing TBI. According to our experience, the translation technique is comfortable for patient and provides homogeneous dose distribution over the whole body.
