Background and objectives: This study describes the treatment planning and dose delivery methods of radiotherapy for patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation. The analysis was carried out in the context of the evolution of these methods over the last 60 years. Materials and methods: A systematic literature search was carried out using the PubMed search engine. Overall, 90 relevant studies were included: 24 general studies, 10 describing isotopes usage, 24 related to conventional and 32 to advanced methods. Results: The analysis of the evolution of radiotherapy methods shows how signifi cantly the precision of dose planning methods and its delivery have changed. The atypical positioning caused by geometrical requirements for applications of isotopes or conventional techniques has been replaced by positioning on a therapeutic couch, which allows a more precise setup of the patient that is necessary for an exact delivery of the planned dose. The dose can be fully optimized and calculated on tomographic images by algorithms implemented in planning systems. Optimization process allows to reduce doses in organs at risk. The accuracy between planned and delivered doses can be checked by pretreatment verifi cation methods, and the patient positioning can be checked by image guidance procedures. Interpretation and conclusions: Current radiotherapy solutions allow a precise delivery of doses to the planning target volume while reducing doses to organs at risk. Nevertheless, it should be kept in mind that establishing radiotherapy as an important element of the whole therapeutic regimen resulted from the follow-up of patients treated by conventional techniques. To confi rm the clinical value of new advanced techniques, clinical trials are required.

The determination of the dose delivered to the body during Total Body Irradiation (TBI) is not easy, as direct measurements are impossible. This article presents the intention to develop a systematic and simple method for absorbed dose determination in 60Co TBI using mid plane dose factors (MDF) and external measurements, i.e. entrance and exit dose readings by semiconductor detectors. In order to perform the radiation field analysis prior to TBI treatment, a special silicon n-type detector with increased sensitivity (1200 nC/Gy) was used. The dependence of the calibration factor of this detector exposed to different dose rates in standard and TBI conditions was investigated. A theoretical model of anthropomorphic phantoms of cylindrical ellipsoid shape was established. The software made it possible to generalize the applicability of TBI dosimetry to any individual case of real patient data. A quality assurance analysis of dosimetric results of 350 patients, who underwent TBI during a 17-year period, was performed.
