Lung volume irradiation procedures in patients with pneumonia during COVID-19 infection – physical aspects of treatment planning and dosimetry

Introduction. The paper presents an original, used in our Institute, method of lung volume irradiation patients with pneumonia during COVID-19 infection. Material and methods. Procedures such as the simulation treatment radiotherapy are performed a room. Real time radiation planning is realized 2D (Irreg Planning VMS) separate room, 3D (eclipse dose distribution calculated after treatment. During exposure, fluence map measured. Results. A irradiating lungs was developed, which allows to shorten patient on table minimize contacts between staff. Conclusions. presented procedure made it possible patient’s stay department at same time, retains all required quality assurance procedures
