Description
In the Davidoff Cancer Center a Contact RT – 50, Philips, The Netherlands, 50 kVp low energy x-rays beam filtered with a 0.5 mm Al or a 1.0 mm Al filter is being applied to skin irradiation. Around 350 treatments have being performed as an average in the last five years. The use of this equipment as a supplement in a busy Linacs environment seems to be an excellent solution for small skin diseases, when comparing with a cumbersome small electron beam dosimetry procedure
