Abstrakt: | To simulate an early 20th century viral pneumonia radiotherapy treatment using modern fluoroscopy and evaluated it according to current dose guidelines. Monte Carlo was used to assess the dose distribution on an anthropomorphic phantom. Critical organs were: skin, breasts, esophagus, ribs, vertebrae, heart, thymus, and spinal cord.
