Abstract

This paper describes the basic data measurements for total body irradiation with 6 Mv photon beam including compensators design. The technique uses bilateral opposing fields with tissue compensators for the head, neck, lungs, and legs from the hip to toes. In vivo dosimetry was carried out for determining absorbed dose at various regions in 7 patients using diode detectors(MULTIDOSE,k Model 9310, MULTIDATA Co., USA). As a results, the dose uniformity of${\pm}3.5{\%}$(generally, within${\pm}10{\%}$can be achieved with out total body irradiation technique.
