The goal of total body irradiation (TBI) is to deliver a dose to the whole body with uniformity within ±10%. The purpose of this study was to establish the technique of TBI using plastic bead bags. A lifting TBI bed, Model ORP-TBI-MN, was used. The space between the patient's body and the acrylic walls of the bed was filled with polyacetal bead bags. Patients were irradiated by a 10 MV photon beam with a source to mid-plane distance of 400 cm. The monitor unit (MU) was calculated by dose-per-MU, ...[more]
